While it certainly looks fancy, this recipe is surprisingly easy although its not something you can step away from the stove during the initial stirring faze until the chocolate, marshmallows and butter forms a ball.
Traditional nougat can be really tricky to get right and can become very hard, so we adapted a white nougat (which would normally be whipped egg white, sugar, nuts and honey) recipe by using some fluffy marshmallows, along with peanut brittle, white chocolate and cherries.
This peanut butter brittle nougat recipe is pretty versatile as one can change the colour of the nougat by using different coloured marshmallows: Pink, white, yellow and blue…pick a colour and release the pastry chef within!
