Spooky and Delicious!

Have you tried nougat candy? It’s SO good. Last Christmas I made a batch of this red and green nougat and it was such a hit that I knew I had to make a special batch for Halloween. And of course with the classic colours of Halloween, orange and black!

Play with spooky colours!

If you don’t like black licorice flavour, you can make these candies with different colour combinations like green and purple, or orange and purple gumdrops. Have fun with them!

Trust me, you’ll love these

Beautiful spooky little squares of sweet, soft, chewy deliciousness. I guarantee these will fly off your dessert table faster than a witch flying off on her broom!

Aren’t they so pretty? And delicious. They’re definitely both.

marshmallows + white chocolate chips = a chewy and delicious nougat

Halloween Nougat Recipe Tips

For tips and tricks on making this nougat, I answer loads of readers questions in this post here…everything from where to buy the candies, how to melt the chocolate and more! But here are a few tips to get you started:

TYPE OF CANDY: You can use gumdrops, jujubes or dots to make these.
CHOCOLATE: About the white chocolate chips: Use ONLY real white chocolate chips, DO NOT USE Chipits…Chipits don’t melt.
TIPS FOR MIXING THE INGREDIENTS TOGETHER: The ingredients are sticky so it can be a challenge to mix them together, but I promise this nougat is worth the effort! I like to use the double boiler method to melt the butter, chocolate and marshmallows together because it’s a lot more difficult to burn the mixture with the indirect heat. You just have to be patient and keep stirring.
TIP! ADDING THE NOUGAT MIXTURE TO THE PAN: The mixture is pretty sticky, so a little trick I use is to lightly grease a small square of parchment paper then use that to spread and pat the mixture down.
CUTTING THE NOUGAT: Put the nougat in the fridge for a few hours (overnight is best) to set…it needs to be completely cooled to cut it. Make sure to use a sharp knife to cut the nougat into squares, a long knife works best.
STORAGE: Keep this nougat in an airtight container on the counter for up to a weekor more.
FREEZING: You can freeze these for up to 2 or 3 weeks. Use parchment paper between the layers and store in an airtight container.

I hope you make these candies and love them!
