This Christmas Gumdrop Nougat Candy is an easy no-bake treat that’s perfect for the holiday season. Great as a homemade gift!
These unique candies, for many of us, are a signal that the holidays are really here. It is a compact, dense and chewy candy. Roasted nuts, chopped candied fruit, caramel, or chocolate are often added.
This 4-ingredient recipe is easy to make and has the same texture as Roman Nougat bars. Enjoy!
White Chocolate Nougat has a mild vanilla-white chocolate flavor (similar to a marshmallow!) and a soft, fluffy texture with just a hint of chewiness. It makes a wonderful candy bar filling—try pairing it with your favorite nuts and dried fruit, or layering it with caramel or pate de fruit for a gourmet candy bar! I’ve written the recipe using some of my favorite mix-ins, but feel free to substitute others to suit your taste. As with many egg white-based candies, nougat does not do well in humidity, so try to choose a low humidity day to make this candy.
Because this nougat is wonderfully soft at room temperature, it’s not ideal for serving without a chocolate coating. Instructions for the optional chocolate dipping are included at the bottom of the recipe.
