nougat

Aerated candy filling

Nougat is a chewy confection made from sugar or honey, egg whites, and nuts—typically almonds or pistachios.

The texture ranges from soft and pillowy to dense and tooth-sticking, depending on preparation.

Nougat appears as a standalone candy or as a layer in chocolate bars: The candy bar had a nougat center.
