Introduction

If you love the light, fluffy chocolate center of a classic Musketeer candy bar,
you’ll be happy to know you can make it right at home. This homemade version captures
that signature whipped chocolate nougat wrapped in a smooth chocolate shell using
simple ingredients and easy steps. It’s a nostalgic treat that’s perfect for holidays,
gifting, or satisfying a serious chocolate craving.

Ingredients

For the Nougat Filling

• 3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 jar (7 oz / 200 g) marshmallow crème
• ¼ cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Coating

• 2 cups milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening (optional)

Instructions

1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream.
   Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted
   and smooth.
2. While the mixture is still warm, stir in the marshmallow crème and vanilla
   extract until well combined.
3. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed for
   3–5 minutes until it becomes light, fluffy, and airy.
4. Spread the whipped nougat evenly into a parchment-lined pan.
   Refrigerate for 1–2 hours, or until firm enough to slice.
5. Once firm, cut the nougat into bar-shaped pieces.
6. Melt the chocolate coating ingredients in the microwave or over a double
   boiler until smooth.
7. Dip each nougat bar into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate
   to drip off, then place on parchment paper.
8. Refrigerate the bars for 20–30 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

Description

These homemade Musketeer candy bars feature a soft, whipped chocolate nougat
center that melts in your mouth, surrounded by a silky chocolate coating.
The contrast between the airy interior and rich exterior makes them absolutely
irresistible and even better than the store-bought version.

Tips

• Use high-quality chocolate for better flavor and smooth texture.
• Lightly grease your knife before slicing for clean edges.
• For a richer taste, substitute bittersweet chocolate for semi-sweet.
• Store candy bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Correction

• Nougat too soft: Chill longer or reduce the cream slightly next time.
• Chocolate coating too thick: Add a small amount of coconut oil or shortening.
• Nougat not fluffy: Beat longer and ensure the mixture is warm when whipping.

Enjoy

Enjoy these homemade Musketeer candy bars as a sweet snack, a thoughtful gift,
or a special dessert. One bite of the fluffy center and smooth chocolate shell,
and they’ll quickly become a favorite!
