Candy Bar Shot

I’m doing my very best to satisfy the Shotible suggestions of my readers.  I’ve gotten a hand full of suggestions to make specific candy bars. But here’s the thing; I am extremely concerned about violating registered trademarks owned by huge corporations.  I’ve had to get a bit creative when it comes to naming some Shotibles.  For example, did you know that the name “Popsicle” is owned by Unilever.  For that reason, I won’t be mentioning the name of the extremely popular candy bar this Shotible is based upon.
Making a shot glass out of chocolate always seemed like too obvious of a choice, but for the Candy Bar Shotible, it was necessary.  I do have to warn you though, chocolate can be hard!   I don’t mean that it was hard to work with.  I just melted it down in a double boiler, and then poured it into the molds.  But when it came to eating them, it got a little dangerous.  I was afraid people were going to break their teeth.  Fortunately, there were no injuries.
For the filling, I made my own amoretto nougat using powdered sugar, corn syrup, egg whites, and obviously, amoretto.  I also used some amoretto when melted down the caramel chews.  And what would a candy bar be without some chopped peanuts on top.
