In this Nougat recipe we decided to combine two of our greatest passions: French confectionery and Chocolate. The chewiness of nougat, the richness of chocolate, and the added texture and depth of flavor of toasted hazelnuts and cacao nibs makes this recipe an absolute stand-out that will leave your clients wondering why they had never tried something like this before. And with good reason: when these two confection classics merge, magic happens.
