Instructions
Red Layer
Heat red candy melts in microwave on high power for 30 seconds then stir.
Heat another 30 seconds then stir.
Heat for 20 seconds then let sit in microwave for 2 minutes before stirring.
If not all melted, let sit for another 2 minutes then stir again.
If needed, heat for 10 second increments stirring after each until melted.
It's best to keep the candy from getting over 95 degrees F.
If the candy got really hot, let it cool, stirring often, until just warm.
Add the marshmallow creme and stir just until half of it is mixed in then add the food coloring, if using, and continue to stir until well combined.
The mixture will become thick quickly.
Spread the red nougat into the bottom of a silicone loaf pan or into a metal loaf pan lined with strips of parchment paper.
Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Purple Layers
Repeat the process above layering in the orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple nougat.
Set aside for 30 minutes so that the candy firms up.
Chocolate Layer
Pour just enough chocolate to cover the top of the purple layer and spread it into an even layer.
Tap the mold on the counter a few times to remove any air bubbles.
If using pure chocolate refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.If using Candy Melts freeze for about 10 minutes.
Remove and un-mold.
Let the candy bar sit at room temperature for 15 minutes
Set the candy bar up on two glasses that fit underneath.
Pour the remaining chocolate over top of the bar allowing it to run down over the sides.
Clean up the drips of chocolate from the bottom edge of the bar using a spatula or knife.
Sprinkle on rainbow chips.
Chill for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
