What is a nougat candy?

Nougat candy is made from sugar that has been aerated and is fluffy. Paired with nuts and chocolate, it’s a popular dessert any time of year, especially around the holidays.

Tips For Cutting Candy Nougat 

  • Use a sharp kitchen knife that is serrated. This will allow it to grab onto the chocolate and will help prevent it from breaking.
  • It’s fine to add some nonstick spray or oil to the knife to prevent sticking.
  • Warm the knife before you start by running it under really hot water. Then dry well before you begin cutting the nougat.

Easy Nougat Bars Tips

Here are a few tips to keep in mind when you’re making Easy Nougat Bars:

  • Use high-quality nougat and chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Don’t overmix the nougat mixture; it should be just combined.
  • Make sure to let the nougat cool completely before adding the chocolate layer.
  • If your nougat is too thick, you can microwave it for a few seconds to soften it up.
  • Allow the nougat bars to set in the refrigerator before cutting into them – this will make them easier to cut.
  • To get clean cuts, use a sharp knife and wipe it in between each slice with a damp paper towel.

With these tips in mind, you’ll be able to make nougat candy bars that are just as delicious as the store-bought kind! Enjoy!
