Homemade Musketeer Candy Bar Recipe
Creating a Musketeer candy bar at home can be a fun and delicious project. While I can’t provide a replica of the commercial Musketeer bar recipe (as it’s a closely guarded secret), I can offer you a simple homemade version inspired by the flavors of a Musketeer bar. Here’s a recipe for a homemade nougat-filled chocolate bar with a fluffy texture:
Homemade Musketeer Candy Bar Recipe:
Ingredients:
For the Nougat:
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 large egg white
Pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Chocolate Coating:
2 cups milk chocolate chips or chopped milk chocolate
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening or coconut oil
Instructions:
1. Nougat:
a. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and water over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
b. Using a candy thermometer, heat the mixture to 250°F (hard ball stage).

d. Once the sugar mixture reaches 250°F, slowly pour it in a thin stream into the beaten egg white, while continuing to beat at high speed.
e. Continue beating until the mixture is thick, glossy, and holds its shape. This is your nougat.
f. Add vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
