🍬 Nougat Candy 😍

Ingredients:

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• ½ cup honey
• ½ cup light corn syrup
• 2 large egg whites
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1½ cups roasted almonds
• ½ cup roasted pistachios
• ½ cup roasted hazelnuts
• 2 sheets edible rice paper
• ¼ tsp salt

Method:

1. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper and place a sheet of edible rice paper on the bottom.
2. In a saucepan, combine the sugar, honey, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches about 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer.
3. Meanwhile, beat the egg whites and salt in a large heatproof bowl until stiff peaks form.
4. Slowly pour the hot sugar syrup into the egg whites while beating continuously. Continue beating for 5–8 minutes, until the mixture becomes thick, glossy, and very stiff.
5. Beat in the vanilla extract, then gently fold in the roasted almonds, pistachios, and hazelnuts.
6. Quickly spread the nougat evenly into the prepared pan. Cover the top with the second sheet of edible rice paper and press gently.
7. Let the nougat cool completely at room temperature for several hours, or until firm.
8. Remove from the pan, cut into small squares or bars with a sharp knife, and enjoy this chewy, nutty homemade candy! 🍯🥜
