Homemade Muskateer Candy Bars
Ingredients
- 3 oz unsweetened chocolate, chopped
- 2 oz unsweetened white chocolate, chopped
- 1 oz cocoa butter
- ½ tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tsp powdered erythritol
- ⅛ tsp raw stevia
- pinch of salt
- 2 oz egg whites
- ½ tbsp cocoa powder
- ⅛ tsp xanthan gum
- ⅛ tsp powdered erythritol
Directions
- Temper the Chocolate:
- Place ¾ of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave on high for 1-2 minutes, stirring every 15 seconds until the chocolate is melted.
- Add Ingredients:
- Add butter, erythritol, raw stevia, and salt to the melted chocolate.
- Stir until combined.
- Check the temperature with a kitchen thermometer to ensure it is above 115ºF.
- If the proper temperature is reached, add the remaining chocolate. If not, heat in the microwave until the proper temperature is acquired, then add the remaining chocolate.
- Stir and Smooth:
- Stir with a rubber spatula until the chocolate is smooth and there are no chunks remaining.
- Ensure the temperature is between 88-92ºF.
- Fill the Molds:
- Transfer the chocolate to a pastry or plastic bag.
- Remove a corner so the chocolate can be “piped.”
- Fill half of the silicone mold wells with chocolate and allow to set until firm, about 5 minutes.
- Prepare the Nougat:
- While allowing the chocolate to set, whip the egg whites until frothy.
- Add cocoa powder, xanthan gum, and powdered erythritol.
- Whip to stiff peaks.
- Transfer to a pastry or plastic bag and pipe a pea-sized dollop on top of the chocolate.
- Place the silicone mold in the freezer and allow the nougat to freeze for 15 minutes.
- Complete the Bars:
- Remove the silicone mold from the freezer.
- Place the pastry bag in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to soften the chocolate.
- Pipe the remaining chocolate around the nougat.
- Place the silicone mold in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to set the chocolate.
- Serve:
- Remove the silicone mold from the freezer.
- Remove the chocolate from the wells.
- Serve or store in an airtight container, refrigerated for up to 7 days.
