01 Types of Nougat Candies:
- Soft Nougat: This type is characterized by a tender and chewy texture, often incorporating ingredients like honey, almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts. Soft nougat can sometimes include dried fruits or chocolate pieces for added flavor and variety.
- Hard Nougat: Known for its firm and crunchy consistency, hard nougat typically contains a higher ratio of sugar or honey to egg whites, creating a brittle texture. Nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts, and pistachios are commonly embedded in the candy, providing a satisfying crunch with each bite.
- Chocolate-Covered Nougat: This variety features nougat centers coated in rich, smooth chocolate. The nougat can be either soft or hard, offering a delightful contrast between the creamy chocolate exterior and the chewy or crunchy interior.
- Fruit-Flavored Nougat: Infused with various fruit essences or containing pieces of dried fruit, this type of nougat offers a refreshing and tangy twist on the traditional flavor profile. Common fruits used include citrus, berries, and tropical fruits like mango and pineapple.

02 Formulations of Nougat Candies:
- Traditional Nougat: Made with simple ingredients like honey, sugar, egg whites, and nuts, traditional nougat boasts a classic taste and texture that has been enjoyed for centuries. The focus is on high-quality, natural ingredients to achieve the perfect balance of sweetness and nuttiness.
- Nut-Filled Nougat: This formulation features a higher concentration of nuts, making it particularly rich and crunchy. Almonds, hazelnuts, and pistachios are the most popular choices, providing a robust nutty flavor and a satisfying crunch.
- Chocolate-Infused Nougat: Incorporates cocoa powder or chocolate chips into the nougat mixture, adding a deep, rich chocolate flavor throughout the candy. This formulation appeals to chocolate lovers and adds an extra layer of indulgence to the traditional nougat taste.

- Sugar-Free Nougat: Designed for those looking to reduce their sugar intake, sugar-free nougat uses sugar substitutes like stevia or erythritol. This version retains the sweetness and texture of traditional nougat without the added sugars.
