Homemade Candy Bars
Sure, you can find countless candy bars at any supermarket worth its salt, but have you ever tried making your own at home? It's actually pretty easy and the results are so much more satisfying than simply opting for the store-bought variants — all you need is a couple of juice cartons, a handful of M&M's, Raffaellos and almonds, then you're good to go!
Equipment
- Juice cartons
Ingredients
- 2 empty juice cartons
- 5 oz white chocolate for the white chocolate version
- 3 Raffaello candies balls for the white chocolate version
- 6 whole almonds for the white chocolate version
- 1 tsp coconut flakes for the white chocolate version
- 3 oz white chocolate for the marble chocolate version
- 2 oz milk chocolate for the marble chocolate version
- 9 peanut M&M's for the marble chocolate version
- 4 crushed regular M&M's for the marble chocolate version
- 5 oz dark chocolate for the dark chocolate version
- 2.5 cookies for the dark chocolate version
- 2 caramel candies for the dark chocolate version
- 5 oz milk chocolate for the milk chocolate version
- 6 cinnamon cereal pieces for the milk chocolate version
- 3 dried apple rings for the milk chocolate version
Instructions
- Rinse out the juice cartons thoroughly. Next, make vertical cuts down the sides of both cartons to the left and right of the spout; the two center parts with the spout can be disposed of.
- Melt the different types of chocolate in a water bath. Next, separately fill three of the juice carton 'holders' with milk chocolate, white chocolate and dark chocolate. In the fourth holder, first pour in the white chocolate before adding the milk chocolate on top. Now carefully stir the milk chocolate with a fork or toothpick to create a marble design.
- Add peanut M&M's on top of the marble chocolate version. Next, sprinkle crushed regular M&M's on top of this.
- Place the cookies in the dark chocolate version and grate caramel candies on top.
- Cut three Raffaello balls in half and place them on the white chocolate version. Place almonds in between the balls and sprinkle coconut flakes over everything.
- Place dried apple rings and cinnamon cereal on the milk chocolate version and sprinkle crushed cinnamon cereal on top.
- Refrigerate the candy bars until they have hardened.
- Remove the candy bars from the holders and cut them into bite-sized triangular pieces.
