This Recipe Makes ± 20 Pieces

Marshmallow Nougat – you’re probably wondering what this is & well this is just a quicker version of making the delicious Nougat bars.

This confectionery is made with creamy marshmallows & any add in’s of your choice. The original Nougat is made from whipped egg whites & the process is more tedious than this one.

I promise, the entire family will love this candy. their so easy to make & their oh so good!

Marshmallow Nougat Ingredients:

• 200 grams white giant marshmallows
• 60 grams softened butter or margarine
• ½ cup milk powder (Nestle Klim)
• 1 cup whole almonds
• 1 cup soft gummies
• spraying oil

Method:

1. Prepare a square casserole by adding a layer of wax/parchment paper & grease it with spraying oil.
2. 
3. Next, make sure that the butter is softened at room temperature.
4. 
5. For this recipe, I am using Giant Braai Marshmallows (which you can find at Food Lover’s Market stores), as I wanted white marshmallows only to make this Nougat. In South Africa, most of the packages usually come with a mixture of white & pink marshmallows & I didn’t want the pink ones to go to waste. Of course, you may add pink ones in as well if you prefer.
6. 
7. As this choice of marshmallows are quiet big, I snipped them into smaller pieces to make the melting process easier.
8. 
9. Place a pot or a saucepan on the stovetop on medium-low heat. Add in the butter & allow it to completely melt.
10. 
11. Once the butter has melted, add in the marshmallows.
12. 
13. 
14. Give it a mix.
15. 
16. Allow the marshmallows to melt on medium-low heat whilst stirring occasionally.
17. 
18. Once the marshmallows have melted, add in the milk powder.
19. 
20. 
21. Mix well until combined. The mixture will thicken & become somewhat compressed.
22. 
23. Turn off the heat & add in whatever you prefer, I have added in almonds.
24. 
25. I have also added in some soft gummies.
26. 
27. Mix until combined.
28. 
29. Plop the mixture into the prepared greased casserole.
30. 
31. Grease another piece of wax/parchment paper with spraying oil & place it over the mixture. Use your hands to press the mixture down into the casserole & thereafter use a small glass to roll & flatten the mixture.
32. 
33. 
34. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

36. After 1 hour, gently peel off the wax/parchment paper & cut the Marshmallow Nougat into logs & then into smaller pieces if preferred.
