Ingredients
  

Nougat Filling
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 large egg whites
Chocolate Coating
  • 2 cups milk chocolate chips Dark chocolate can be used for a richer taste.
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil Optional, for smoother chocolate coating.

Method
 

Make the Nougat Filling
  1. In a saucepan, combine sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Heat over medium until the sugar dissolves.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  3. Slowly pour the hot sugar mixture into the egg whites while beating continuously. Add vanilla and beat until thick and glossy (about 5-7 minutes).
Shape the Bars
  1. Spread the nougat into a lined 8x8-inch pan and let it set for 1 hour.
Coat with Chocolate
  1. Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil (if using) in a double boiler.
  2. Cut the nougat into bars and dip each into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coverage.
  3. Place on parchment paper and let harden in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Notes

For an extra-smooth finish, temper the chocolate before dipping. Variations include adding peanut butter for a nutty flavor or using aquafaba for a vegan option.
