How do you make Caramilk Chocolate bars?

You can't make Caramilk chocolate bars at home with the same ingredients and process as the Cadbury factory. It's a proprietary recipe that uses specific ingredients and equipment. However, you can make a delicious caramel-flavored chocolate bar using a similar process:

Ingredients:

* 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter

* 1 cup granulated sugar

* 1/2 cup light corn syrup

* 1/4 cup milk powder

* 1/2 cup heavy cream

* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

* 12 ounces good-quality milk chocolate, chopped

Equipment:

* Candy thermometer

* Large saucepan

* Heat-proof rubber spatula

* 9x13 inch baking pan lined with parchment paper

Instructions:

1. Prepare the caramel: In a large saucepan, combine butter, sugar, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a boil.

2. Continue cooking: Clip a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan and continue cooking, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 240°F (115°C) on the thermometer. This is the soft-ball stage.

3. Add the milk powder and cream: Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully add the milk powder, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in the heavy cream and vanilla extract.

4. Cool slightly: Let the mixture cool slightly, about 10 minutes.

5. Melt the chocolate: While the caramel mixture is cooling, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or in a microwave (in 30-second intervals, stirring after each).

6. Combine the caramel and chocolate: Slowly drizzle the hot caramel into the melted chocolate, whisking constantly to combine.

7. Pour into pan: Pour the chocolate caramel mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly. Let it cool and set at room temperature for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

8. Cut and enjoy: Cut the chocolate into bars and enjoy!

Notes:

* For a more intense caramel flavor, you can add a pinch of salt to the caramel mixture.

* You can use different types of chocolate, like dark chocolate, to create variations.

* To get a smoother texture, try using a blender to combine the chocolate and caramel.

* Store the chocolate bars in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.
