white nougat

Chewy almond candy

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

The aerated egg whites give it a pale color and lighter texture than brown nougat, which uses caramelized sugar.

The candy bar had a layer of white nougat beneath the chocolate.
