INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2
cup of the water, and the salt. Heat to boiling, then cook using a candy
thermometer to monitor the temperature.
Beat the egg whites until they are stiff and form peaks. Don't use a
plastice bowl for this.
When the sugar mixture reaches 270~F, or th esoft crack stage. Remove from
the heat and pour the mixture in thin streams into the egg whites, blending
completely with an electric mixer set on low.
Continue to mix about 20 minutes or until the nougat begins to harden and
thickens to the consistency of dough. Mix in the almonds.
Press the nougat into a greased 9 x 9 inch pan and chill until firm about
30    minutes.
Melt the caramels with the remaining 2 tb. water in a small saucepan over
medium heat.
Pour the caramel over the nougat and return the pan to the refrigerator.
When the caramel and nougat are firm (about 30 min), slice down the middle
of the pan with a sharp knife adn then slice across into 7 segments to make
a total of 14 bars.
Melt the milk chocolate chips in a microwave for 2 minutes on half power,
stirring halfway through the cooking time. Melt completely, but be careful
not to overheat.
Resting the bar on a fork (and use fingers if needed) dip each bar into the
chocolate to coat completely and tap the fork against the side of the bowl
to knock off the excess chocolate. Place on waxed paper and let cool at
room temperature until the chocolate is firm 1-2 hours.
