- 1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the sugar, corn syrup, 1/2 c. of the water, and the salt. Stir often till the mix begins to boil, then continue to cook, using a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature.
- 2. While the candy boils, beat the egg whites till they are stiff and form peaks. Do not use a plastic bowl for this.
- 3. When the sugar mix reaches 270 degrees F, or possibly the soft-crack stage, remove from the heat and pour the mix in thin streams into the egg whites, blending with a mixer set on low speed.
- 4. Continue to mix for 20 min or possibly so. The mix will thicken as you mix, till it reaches the consistency of cookie dough. At this point, add in the semisweet chocolate chips. Be warned; the mix wil not get any thicker after the chocolate is added, so be sure the candy is very thick and fluffy before adding the chips.
- 5. When the chocolate chips are completely blended into the candy, press the mix into a greased 9x9-inch pan and chill till cold, about 30 min.
- 6. Heat the caramels with the remaining 2 Tbsp. water in a small saucepan till thoroughly melted. Pour the caramel over the refrigerated candy.
- 7. While the candy cools, heat the lowfat milk chocolate chips in the microwave for 2 min on medium power. Stir halfway through the heating time. Heat completely, but be careful not to overheat.
- 8. When the caramel is set, use a sharp knife to cut down the center of the pan. Then cut the candy across into 7 segments, making a total of 14 bars.
- 9. Resting a bar on a fork (and using your fingers if needed), dip each bar into the chocolate to coat completely, then tap the fork against the side of the bowl to knock off the excess chocolate.
- 10. Place each bar on waxed paper and cold till hard at room temperature, 1 to 2 hrs.
- Makes 14 candy bars.
