Unlike more complex nougat recipes, these easy nougat bars are fuss-free and come together in just minutes using a few simple ingredients. They’re perfect for satisfying that sweet tooth or adding a little homemade treat to a party spread.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups salted peanuts
  • 1 cup chopped almonds (optional)
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips

 

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later. Set aside.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Mixture:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter.
    • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat it.
  3. Mix in the Marshmallows and Nuts:
    • Add the mini marshmallows, salted peanuts, and chopped almonds (if using) into the melted mixture. Stir until everything is well coated.
  4. Spread in the Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Press down gently with a spatula to create an even layer.
  5. Add the Chocolate Layer: Melt the milk chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the nougat layer and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the nougat bars for about 1-2 hours, or until the bars are set and firm.
  7. Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars out of the baking dish. Slice them into squares or bars and enjoy!

Cook Notes & Tips

  • Melting Chocolate: Be sure to melt the chocolate chips in short intervals to avoid burning them.
  • Nut Options: You can substitute or mix in different nuts like cashews or pecans for variety.
  • Storage: Store these bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for a firmer texture.

 

Variations

  • Dark Chocolate Version: Use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Dried Fruit Addition: Add 1/2 cup of dried cranberries or raisins for a fruity twist.
  • Coconut Nougat Bars: Mix in 1/2 cup of shredded coconut for a tropical flavor.

 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Can I Use Crunchy Peanut Butter?

Yes, crunchy peanut butter will work well and will add an extra layer of texture to the bars.

2. How Do I Prevent the Chocolate From Seizing?

Make sure all your bowls and utensils are completely dry before melting the chocolate. Any moisture can cause chocolate to seize and become grainy.

3. Can I Make These Bars Nut-Free?

Absolutely! Substitute the peanuts and almonds with sunflower seeds or another nut-free crunchy element for a similar texture.

  1. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at capitalwatch confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  2. Лечение запоя всегда начинается с детоксикационных процедур. Нарколог назначает капельницы с солевыми растворами, витаминными комплексами, гепатопротекторами и кардиопротекторами для очищения крови от токсинов и продуктов распада этилового спирта. Симптоматические препараты назначает нарколог на основании результатов диагностики, выявления сопутствующих болезней, тяжести состояния пациента. Уже через несколько часов после начала лечения состояние больного улучшается: проходят тошнота, головная боль, нормализуется артериальное давление и сон. Внутривенное введение лекарств даёт быстрый эффект и восстанавливает функции нервной системы. Лечение в стационаре позволяет провести полную детоксикацию организма безопасно и под контролем специалистов. Важно понимать, что качественная детоксикация — это фундамент всего последующего лечения алкоголизма, без которого невозможно двигаться дальше. В течение всего периода детокса врач-психиатр отслеживает психическое состояние, так как для запоя характерны перепады настроения и депрессия.

  3. I was recommended this blog by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my difficulty. You are incredible! Thanks!

  5. Reading this on a slow Sunday and finding it perfectly suited to a slow Sunday read, and a quick stop at anchorbonding kept the same gentle pace, content that fits the mood of the moment is something I notice and remember and this site has the kind of pace that suits relaxed reading sessions especially well.

  6. Thank you for keeping the writing honest and the points easy to verify against your own experience, and a stop at northloomgoods reflected the same approach, no exaggeration just steady useful content that I can take with me into my own work without second guessing every sentence I happen to read here.

  7. Coming back to this one, definitely, and a quick visit to pineharborboutique only made me more sure of that, the kind of writing that makes you want to set aside time later rather than rushing through it now while distracted by everything else competing for attention on the screen today across so many tabs.

  8. In the middle of an otherwise scattered day this post landed as a moment of focus, and a stop at tandembond extended that focused feeling across more pages, content that anchors a fragmented day rather than contributing to the fragmentation is content with real centring effect and this site is providing that anchoring function for me.

  9. Started imagining how I would explain the topic to someone else after reading, and a look at businesspower gave me more material for that imagined explanation, content that improves my own ability to discuss a topic is content that has actually transferred knowledge rather than just decorating my screen for a few minutes.

  10. Thanks for the readable length, I finished it without checking how much was left, and a stop at windstonecollective kept me reading the same way, when I stop noticing the length of a piece because the content is engaging enough to sustain attention without willpower the writer has done their job well today.

  11. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to linenwild kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  12. Now noticing how rare it is to find a site that does not feel rushed, and a look at bloomcraftmarket extended that calm pace, content produced without time pressure has a different quality than content shipped to meet a deadline and this site reads as written without urgency which produces a different and better experience for readers.

  13. My usual response to new bookmarks is to forget them but this one I have already returned to twice, and a look at coretrustlink pulled me back a third time, the actual return rate to bookmarked sites is the real measure of value and this one is clearing that measure at a notable rate already.

  14. Found the writing surprisingly fresh for what is by now a well covered topic, and a stop at ironhollowboutique kept that freshness going across the related pages, original perspective on familiar ground is hard to come by and this site has clearly earned its place in the conversation rather than just rehashing old ideas.

  15. Left me wanting to read more rather than feeling burned out, that is a good sign, and a look at principlebond confirmed there is plenty more here to explore, the kind of writing that builds appetite rather than killing it which is a rare quality on the modern open internet today across most categories of content.

  16. Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at legacyalloy extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.

  17. Thank you for not assuming the reader already knows everything, the explanations meet me where I am, and a look at progressmoveswithclarity did the same, that consideration is what makes a site feel welcoming rather than gatekeepy which is sadly the default mood across the modern web today for most subjects covered.

  18. Honestly this hits the sweet spot between detail and brevity, no rambling and no shortcuts, and a quick visit to ironwavecollective kept that going across the related pages, the kind of place that respects your attention without trying to grab it through cheap tactics or attention seeking design choices that get tired fast.

  19. Quietly the writers approach to the topic differs from the dominant takes I have been encountering, and a stop at keystonevector extended that distinctive approach, content that maintains a different perspective without explicitly arguing against the dominant ones is content with confident editorial identity and this site has that confidence throughout pieces.

  20. The structure of the post made it easy to follow without losing track of where I was, and a look at eveningtideboutique kept the same logical flow going, this site clearly understands that organisation is half the battle in keeping readers engaged from the first line to the last across any kind of post.

  21. A piece that did not lean on the writer credentials or institutional backing, and a look at surepathbond maintained the same focus on substance, content that earns trust through quality rather than through name dropping is the kind I find most persuasive and this site is clearly playing on the substance side of that distinction.

  22. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at unitybondnetwork suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  23. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at dynabond extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  24. Came away with a slightly better mental model of the topic than I started with, and a stop at ideasflowintoaction sharpened that further, content that improves the reader thinking apparatus rather than just dumping facts into it is the rare kind I genuinely value and seek out when I have time to read carefully.

  25. The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at signalbuildsdirection kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.

  26. Speaking from the perspective of having read widely on the topic this site offers something distinct, and a look at enduringlink reinforced that distinctness, the rare site that contributes something genuinely original to a saturated topic is the rare site worth following carefully and this one has demonstrated that original contribution capability today.

  27. Stands out for actually being useful instead of just being long, and a look at directionbuildsflow kept that going, length without value is the default mode of most blogs these days but this site has clearly chosen a different path which I respect a lot as a reader who values careful editing decisions like that.

  28. Useful information presented in a way that does not feel like a sales pitch, that is what I appreciated most, and a stop at bondedvisiongroup was the same, no upsell and no fake urgency just steady content laid out properly for someone trying to actually learn from it rather than just be sold to.

  29. Liked how the writer used real examples instead of theoretical ones to make the points stick, and a stop at dependablebond added even more concrete examples, this is the kind of practical approach that respects readers who actually want to apply what they learn rather than just nodding along passively without doing anything useful.

  30. Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at urbanwave fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
