M&M/Mars Milky Way

List of Ingredients




2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons water
1 pinch salt
2 egg whites
35 unwrapped Kraft caramels
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate chips
2 bags milk chocolate chips (12-ounce bags)

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup,
1/2 cup of the water, and the salt. Stir often until the mixture begins
to boil, then continue to cook, using a candy thermometer to monitor the
temperature. While the candy boils, beat the egg whites until they are
stiff and form peaks. Don't use a plastic bowl for this. When the
sugar mixture reaches 270 degrees F, or the soft-crack stage, remove from
the heat and pour the mixture in thin streams into the egg whites,
blending with a mixer set on low speed.

Continue to mix for 20 minutes or so. The mixture will thicken as you mix, until it
reaches the consistency of cookie dough. At this point, add the semisweet
chocolate chips. Be warned; the mixture will not get any thicker after the chocolate
is added, so be sure the candy is very thick and fluffy before adding the chips.
When the chocolate chips are completely blended into the candy, press the
mixture into a greased 9x9-inch pan and refrigerate until cool, about 30 minutes.
Heat the caramels with the remaining 2 tablespoons water in a small saucepan
until thoroughly melted.

Pour the caramel over the refrigerated candy. While the candy cools, melt the
milk chocolate chips in the microwave for 2 minutes on medium power. Stir
halfway through the heating time. Melt completely, but be careful not to overheat.
When the caramel is set, use a sharp knife to cut down the center of the pan.
Then cut the candy across into 7 segments, making a total of 14 bars.

Resting a bar on a fork (and using your fingers if needed), dip each bar into the
chocolate to coat completely, then tap the fork against the side of the bowl to
knock off the excess chocolate. Place each bar on waxed paper and cool until firm
at room temperature, 1 to 2 hours. Makes 14 candy bars.
