CHOCOLATE CANDY BAR ROUNDS



Chocolate Candy Bar Rounds image

Provided by Trisha Yearwood

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
2 teaspoons coconut oil
1/2 cup marshmallow creme, such as Marshmallow Fluff
2 tablespoons smooth peanut butter, not natural, such as Jif or Skippy
1/3 cup good-quality caramel sauce, such as Ghirardelli
2 to 3 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Coconut oil spray, for the spoons
1/3 cup coarsely chopped salted roasted peanuts
1/2 cup white chocolate candy melting wafers
1/4 cup popping candies, such as Pop Rocks

Steps:

  • For the chocolate layer: Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler over low heat. Heat until melted and stir until smooth. Let sit until thickened slightly, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon of the chocolate mixture into each cavity of a 6-cavity round cylinder silicone mold (2-inch-wide by 1-inch-deep cavities). Use a small pastry brush to paint the chocolate up the sides of the molds, making sure to cover the entire inside of each mold. (If your chocolate is too hot and doesn't coat the molds, refrigerate for a few minutes, then try again.) Refrigerate or freeze until set, about 10 minutes.
  • For the nougat layer: Stir the marshmallow creme and peanut butter together in a small bowl. It should be the consistency of putty.
  • For the caramel layer: Put the caramel sauce in a separate bowl. Stir in the confectioners' sugar 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture is thick but still pourable.
  • For the assembly: Grease 2 teaspoons with coconut oil spray. Use the teaspoons to place a heaping tablespoon of the nougat into each mold, pressing to make a smooth layer. Sprinkle over the peanuts and press into the nougat. Use the same teaspoons to add a heaping tablespoon of the caramel to each mold, stopping about 1/4 inch from the top of the molds. Pour the remaining chocolate over the caramel and spread gently with a small offset spatula to completely cover the caramel. Refrigerate or freeze until set, at least 30 minutes.
  • Remove the chocolates from the molds. Microwave the candy melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between each, until melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted white candy over top of the rounds and sprinkle over the popping candies to decorate.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the bars will taste. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make the bars tough. Beat them until they are stiff but not dry.
  • Line the baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easy to remove the bars from the pan.
  • Bake the bars until they are set. The bars should be firm to the touch but still slightly soft in the center.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Marshmallow Cream Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a special snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that everyone will love.
