Tips for Success
Use a Candy Thermometer: For best results, ensure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature. This is essential for achieving the right texture in the nougat.
Work Quickly: Once the nougat is mixed, it will begin to set quickly, so make sure to transfer it to the prepared dish right away.
Optional Chocolate Coating: If you prefer a lighter treat, skip the chocolate coating, or drizzle chocolate over the top instead of fully coating the bars.
Health Benefits
Nougat bars can offer some nutritional benefits, especially when made with nuts. Nuts like almonds and peanuts are rich in healthy fats, protein, and fiber, which can help keep you feeling full and provide essential nutrients. However, nougat bars are also high in sugar and should be enjoyed in moderation.
