Yo sweet-toothed peeps, ready to up your candy bar game? I got you covered with this homemade gourmet candy bar that's gonna knock your socks off. Here we go:
Chocolate Layer: - 300g high-quality dark chocolate, chopped - 1 tbsp coconut oil
Nougat Layer: - 2 egg whites - 1 cup sugar - 1/4 cup light corn syrup - 1/4 tsp salt - 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Caramel Layer: - 1 cup sugar - 6 tbsp butter - 1/2 cup heavy cream - Pinch of salt
Nut Layer: - 1 1/2 cups roasted almonds
Melt chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth, then pour half into a lined baking tray. Freeze it! Whip up nougat ingredients until it looks like... well, nougat. Spread on frozen chocolate. Freeze again.
For caramel, cook sugar until amber, add butter, stir, then cream - boom! Pour it over the nougat. Guess what? Freeze!
Press almonds into the caramel. Freeze for good measure. Pour remaining chocolate on top. One. Last. Time. Freeze!
After it's set, cut the bar into pieces and try not to eat them all at once. You're welcome!

Appreciate the share, but folks, temper your chocolate if you want a shiny finish and that crisp snap. The coconut oil can make it softer which is fine if you’re into that. And definitely invest in a candy thermometer; guessing games don’t end well with caramel.

Hey all, longtime candy maker here. Solid recipe but here’s a tip—if you replace almonds with candied pecans, you'll get a nice crunch with an extra flavor kick! Also, if the caramel's tricky, try a touch of lemon juice—it prevents crystallization.
