1.5 cups (114g) of Cool Whip
3/4 cup (200g) of sweetened condensed milk
¼ cup (58g) of butter
15 caramels
1.5 cups (284g) of milk chocolate
SUPPLIES
Some bowls
An electric mixer
A 6×6 pan
Some parchment

A cutting board
A couple of precision dipping tools
DIRECTIONS
Line the pan with parchment and set it aside.
In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate and 1/4 cup of milk chocolate for 30 seconds and give it a stir. Repeat until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Add the malted milk powder to the melted chocolate and mix on low to medium until combined, then on high for about 30 seconds.
Add the cool whip to the chocolate mixture and beat for about a minute, until it’s well combined and fluffy.
Spread the nougat into the prepared pan.
Put it in the freezer for about an hour.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the sweetened condensed milk and butter.
Stir until the butter has melted, then add the caramels and turn the heat to medium low.
Stir this continuously, so the caramels don’t burn.
When the caramels are fully melted, pour the mixture into some jars.
Let the caramel cool slightly, then spread some on top of the nougat layer.
Return it to the freezer for another hour, until the caramel is firm, but not hard.
Cut the candy into bars or squares and place them on a lined cutting board.
Melt or temper the remaining milk chocolate, then dip a bar into the chocolate, let it drain, then return it to the lined cutting board.
Repeat with the remaining bars, then leave them on the counter to set.
