Nougat Day is observed each year on March 26th. This food holiday is in celebration of a soft and chewy or sometimes hard and crunchy candy. Recipes can range from the more traditional made with almonds and honey to those with hints of citrus.
In the US, the “nougat” used as an ingredient in many modern candy bars is different from the traditional recipes
Three basics kinds of nougats:
1. White nougat – made with beaten egg whites and honey.
2. Brown nougat – made without egg whites and has a firmer, often crunchy texture.
3. Viennese or German nougat – chocolate and nut praline
