      Title: Nougat
 Categories: Candy, Chocolate, Snacks
      Yield: 4 Cups
 
      4 oz Dark or milk chocolate
    3/4 c  Unsweetened cocoa powder
      4 tb Confectioners' sugar
      2 lg Egg whites
  2 1/2 tb Light corn syrup
      2 c  Sugar
  1 1/2 c  Light corn syrup
      2 ts Vanilla extract
 
  Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave; keep
  warm.
  
  Sift together cocoa powder and confectioners' sugar; set
  aside.
  
  Combine egg whites and 2 1/2 tablespoons corn syrup in
  the bowl of a stand mixer, but don't start it.
  
  In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, 1/2 cup water, and
  1 1/2 cups corn syrup and bring to a boil over high
  heat, stirring occasionally. Once temperature has
  reached 235ºF/113ºC, start whipping egg white mixture
  on high speed. Continue to cook sugar syrup until it
  reaches 245ºF/118ºC. Remove from heat and carefully
  pour hot syrup into egg whites in a thin stream (pour it
  down side of bowl, not directly onto beater). Whip for 8
  minutes, then add vanilla.
  
  Stop mixer; quickly and thoroughly mix in melted
  chocolate by hand. Add reserved cocoa powder mixture.
  
  If making Snacker Candy Bars, spread about 2/3 of nougat
  evenly (it helps to put an oiled piece of parchment
  paper on top of the nougat and lightly smooth out the
  surface with a rolling pin) into a greased, parchment
  lined 9" x 13" baking pan. Spread remaining nougat in
  another small pan. Allow to cool.
  
  NOTE: Two-thirds of recipe is enough for Snacker Candy
  Bars; enjoy the rest plain. It can be refrigerated for a
  week in an airtight container.
  
  Yields: 4 cups
