6. **Prepare the Chocolate Coating**:
While the nougat bars are freezing, melt the chocolate chips and vegetable oil together in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
7. **Coat the Nougat Bars**:
Once the nougat bars have hardened, dip each one into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. You can use a fork to gently lift each bar and tap off any excess chocolate. Place the coated bars back on the parchment paper and let them set.
8. **Chill and Set**:
Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for a bit, and then place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to ensure the chocolate coating fully sets and hardens.
9. **Enjoy!**:
Once the chocolate coating is firm, your homemade Musketeer candy bars are ready to enjoy! Store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge if you prefer a firmer chocolate coating.

### **Tips for Success**:
– **Don’t skip the candy thermometer**: Getting the sugar syrup to the right temperature is crucial for achieving the perfect texture for the nougat.
– **Get creative with fillings**: Feel free to experiment with different flavorings like a hint of almond extract or add-ins like crunchy rice cereal for extra texture.
– **Storage**: These candy bars store well for up to two weeks if kept in an airtight container. They also freeze well if you want to save them for later.
