Homemade Candy

... well ... kinda. lol. it doesn't actually taste the same. the original will always be better. my favorite candy bar is 3 Musketeers. always has been. lol.

i came across a recipe yesterday morning to make them homemade and i decided to try it. so i got dressed and hit the store.
after the store i came home and got started ...

cut them into squares after they were in the freezer for a bit ...
i do believe that taking something and having to cover it completely in chocolate is kinda hard. have yet to find an easier way to do it. lol.

kinda messy looking ... lol. but yummy looking at the same time.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm .....

Homemade 3 Musketeers Bites
recipe adapted from Beantown Baker

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8oz) container of whipped topping, thawed
2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 cups milk chocolate chips

1. Line an 8 or 9-inch square pan with wax paper.
2. In a medium bowl, melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave at fifty percent power, or use a double boiler.
3. Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat melted chocolate for about 30 seconds.
4. Add whipped topping to melted chocolate and beat until well combined and fluffy, 30-60 seconds more.
5. Spread chocolate mixture evenly into prepared pan (if mixture is too stiff, press into pan with lightly dampened hands). Place in freezer for 30 minutes.
6. Remove pan from freezer and turn chocolate mixture onto a cutting board; cut into one-inch squares. Return squares to freezer for another 15-20 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, melt milk chocolate chips with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and stir until well combined. Dip frozen chocolate squares into melted chocolate to coat. Place on wax paper to set. Keep chocolates in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

 they sure look like the candy bar ... however ... they don't taste exactly the same. don't get me wrong ... they're delicious! lol. but you just can't get any better than the real thing. haha!
