Welcome, my fellow candy lovers! What’s your vice? Is thataSnickersorMilky Waysbar? Peanut Butter Cups? Peppermint Patties? Maybeyou’re the Take 5type. Orperhapsyou’re a fan of the simple things — like chocolate-covered nougat. If you’re the type who can plow through bags of Halloween candy like a six-year-old on a serious sugar high, then let’s be friends, because I’m the same exact way— my vice is good old Hershey’s. We all know that candy is bad for us (where do I start? The high-fructose corn syrup, the trans fats, the artificial flavors…), so I made itHEALTHY. And HOMEMADE. I introduce to you, Healthy Homemade Nougat Candy Bars (aka, 3 Musketeerz)!

HOW. GOOD. DOES. THIS. LOOK.

A ton of people have emailed me over the years to make a healthy version of nougat, so I did it! No need for the nasty ingredients either, so toss out that corn syrup and get rid of that white sugar. This natural goodness is super sweet, chocolatey, and best of all, 100% DELICIOUS.

Although, I must warn you… nougat is a veeeery time-intensive recipe. It literally takes 3 days to make, but it’s so so SO worth it.

The nougat is very delicate and soft (and kind of a pain in the ass to slice), but once it’s chilled and coated in chocolate, you’ll forget you why you were ever annoyed in the first place. The filling is softer than the fluffiestmarshmallows in all the land. The bar as a whole ismore fresh and flavorful than anything that comes prepackaged in a wrapper that sat on a shelf collecting dust for 6 months.

Your teeth will sink into theseHealthy Homemade Nougat Candy Bars like you’re biting into a fluffy cloud. They’re so dang good, you’d never know they’re all lower in calories, fat, and sugar than the storebought kinds. Plus, they’re all natural too (no food dyes, artificial flavorings, ortrans fats here)!

Healthy Homemade Nougat Candy Bars (aka 3 Musketeerz)

Your teeth will sink into theseHealthy Homemade Nougat Candy Bars like you're biting into a fluffy cloud. They're so dang good, you'd never know they're all lower in calories, fat, and sugar than the storebought kinds. Plus, they're all natural too!

Ingredients

  • 192g (1 cup) Granulated Erythritol
  • 252g (¾ cup) Agave Nectar
  • ½ cup Water
  • tsp Salt
  • 2 Large Egg Whites (room temperature)
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Paste
  • 6 oz Milk Chocolate
  • 6 oz Dark Chocolate
  • 56g (¼ cup) Coconut Oil

Instructions

  • Spray two 8" brownie pans with cooking spray and line parchment paper both ways.

  • In a medium-sized saucepan (I used a2-quart pan), stir together the erythritol, agave, water, and salt, until evenly mixed. Place over medium-high heat and add a candy thermometer to the pot. Cook without stirring until it reaches 220 degrees Fahrenheit. While this is on the stove, put the egg whites in stand mixer bowl with whisk attachment. When the stovetop mixture reaches 260 degrees, start beating the egg whites on medium/high until stiff peaks form. When the temperature reaches 280 degrees, remove the pan from the heat.

  • Increase the mixer speed to high and VERY SLOWLY AND CAREFULLY drizzle the hot syrup into the whipping egg whites in a thin and steady stream. Beat until very thick and glossy (~8 minutes). In the last minute, add the vanilla paste.

  • Scoop the mixture into both brownie pans, trying to make them as even as possible. Spread the mixture out using an offset spatula. Place a sheet of parchment paper on top of each pan of nought. Press down with your hands to make sure it's flat and even. Let the nougat sit at room temperature overnight.

  • The next day, with a very sharp knife, slice each pan's worth of nougat into 6 long strips. This nougat is fragile and sticky, so don't be too rough when slicing, and clean the knife off after every slice. Refrigerate the nougatuncoveredovernight.

  • The next day, melt the chocolate and coconut oil together in a large, shallow dish. Coat the nougat, one slice at a time, in the melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to transfer, dip, flip over, and remove the nougat from the chocolate.

  • Chill until the chocolate hardens, then serve and enjoy!
