Homemade Chocolate Yum-Yum Bars

Homemade Chocolate Yum-Yum Bars

For chocolate enthusiasts, crafting this nostalgic treat in the comfort of your own kitchen is a surefire way to bring joy. These homemade chocolate yum-yum bars are both simple to make and a fun activity that anyone can enjoy.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of cocoa powder

  • 3 cups of sugar-free powdered sugar, or regular powdered sugar

  • 3/4 cup of powdered milk

  • 2 tablespoons of softened butter or margarine

  • 1/2 cup of sugar-free corn syrup, or honey

  • 1 teaspoon of chocolate extract

  • 1 bag (12-ounces) of semi-sweet chocolate chips

  • 1/2 cup of granola

  • 1/2 cup of nuts (optional)

Instructions:

To begin creating the filling for the bars, combine 1/2 cup of cocoa powder, 3 cups of sugar-free powdered sugar or regular powdered sugar, and 3/4 cup of powdered milk in a large mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly.


Add 2 tablespoons of softened butter or margarine, 1/2 cup of sugar-free corn syrup or honey, and 1 teaspoon of chocolate extract to the mixture.


Mix the ingredients together until well combined.


Although the candy mixture may initially appear dry, continue kneading until it forms into a cohesive ball of candy.


Roll the candy out on waxed paper, about an inch thick. Cut the candy into candy bar shapes and set aside.


In a large microwave-safe measuring cup, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.


To make your own chocolate yum-yum bars, pour a small amount of the melted chocolate into chocolate molds. Place the candy filling over the chocolate.


Next, pour the remaining melted chocolate over each bar. Sprinkle granola and nuts on top of each bar.


Let the chocolate yum-yum bars sit at room temperature and transfer to the refrigerator or freezer to allow the chocolate bars to firm up.


Enjoy them immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap or wax paper for later indulgence.
