Four-Ingredient Nougat Bars Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup marshmallow fluff (or 1 jar)
- 1 cup roasted salted peanuts (or any nuts of your choice)
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips (you can substitute with milk chocolate if preferred)
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Directions:
- Prepare your pan:
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish or square pan with parchment paper or foil, leaving some overhang to easily lift the bars out later. This will help with easy removal.
- Make the nougat base:
- In a medium-sized bowl, add the marshmallow fluff and caramel sauce. Stir until well combined and smooth.
- Add the peanuts:
- Gently fold in the roasted peanuts (or your choice of nuts) to the marshmallow-caramel mixture, making sure the peanuts are evenly distributed.
- Transfer to the pan:
- Pour the nougat mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out into an even layer using a spatula or the back of a spoon. Press it down lightly so it’s compact.
- Melt the chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips (or milk chocolate) in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
- Top the nougat bars:
- Pour the melted chocolate over the nougat mixture, spreading it evenly with a spatula. If you’d like, you can lightly swirl the chocolate into the nougat for a marbled effect.
- Chill and set:
- Place the pan in the fridge and chill for at least 2-3 hours, or until the nougat bars are firm and set.
- Cut and serve:
- Once set, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper or foil overhang. Cut into squares or bars and enjoy!
Tips:
- Variations: Feel free to experiment with different nuts like almonds, cashews, or pecans, or add some dried fruit for extra flavor.
- Storage: Store these nougat bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
- Chocolate options: You can use milk, dark, or white chocolate, depending on your preference.
