Ohhh yes 😍🍫✨ White Chocolate Nougat Bars—sweet, chewy, and indulgently nutty. Here’s a rich, crowd-pleasing recipe you can make at home.
🍫 White Chocolate Nougat Bars
Ingredients (makes ~12 bars)
- 2 cups white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
- ½ cup sweetened condensed milk
- ¼ cup light corn syrup (or golden syrup)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios, or a mix)
- ½ cup dried fruit (optional, like cranberries or cherries)
- Pinch of salt
- Optional: edible sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried fruit for topping
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep
- Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Lightly grease the paper.
2️⃣ Melt chocolate
- In a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) or microwave in 30-sec intervals, melt white chocolate + sweetened condensed milk + corn syrup, stirring until smooth.
3️⃣ Add flavor
- Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt.
4️⃣ Fold in mix-ins
- Quickly fold in chopped nuts and dried fruit (if using).
5️⃣ Set
- Pour mixture into prepared pan, smooth the top.
- Optional: sprinkle extra nuts, dried fruit, or crushed freeze-dried fruit.
- Refrigerate 2–3 hours until firm.
6️⃣ Slice
- Lift bars out using parchment.
- Cut into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.
Pro Tips
- Chewy texture: Don’t overcook or overheat the chocolate—it will become grainy.
- Mix-ins: Toast nuts lightly for extra depth.
- Storage: Keep in airtight container at room temp (cool day) or in fridge; lasts 1–2 weeks.
If you want, I can give a fancier version with swirled caramel and chocolate drizzle, almost like candy-shop white chocolate nougat bars 😏.
Do you want me to do that?
