Ingredients
-
1 cup sugar
-
1/2 cup honey
-
1/4 cup water
-
1 cup roasted nuts (almonds, peanuts, or mixed nuts)
-
2 cups mini marshmallows (or marshmallow fluff)
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Optional: 1 cup chocolate chips for topping
Instructions
-
Prep your pan: Line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
-
Cook sugar syrup: In a saucepan, combine sugar, honey, and water. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a gentle boil.
-
Add marshmallows: Remove from heat, then stir in marshmallows and vanilla until smooth.
-
Mix in nuts: Fold in the roasted nuts evenly.
-
Set in pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down evenly.
-
Optional chocolate layer: Melt chocolate chips and spread on top. Let it cool slightly.
-
Cool completely: Let the nougat bars cool at room temperature (or in the fridge for faster setting).
-
Cut and serve: Lift out of the pan, cut into bars, and enjoy!
💡 Tip: You can swap nuts for dried fruit or seeds for different flavors.
If you want, I can give you an even simpler 3-ingredient version that takes 10 minutes with no cooking at all. Do you want me to do that?
