Soft fluffy nougat recipe???

Question

Does anyone have a recipe for soft, fluffy nougat? Kind of like the soft part of a Mars Bar or Snickers?

Darel Lea (Chocolate & sweets maker in Australia) do a soft nougat pudding and I've never come across this anywhere else nor can I find a recipe for a desert.

Thanks

Answer 1

2 cups sugar

1/2 cup white corn syrup

1/2 cup water

2 egg whites

pinch salt

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped pecans

Preparation:

Combine sugar, corn syrup, and water in saucepan. Place saucepan over medium heat and stir until sugar is dissolved; boil without stirring to hard ball stage when tested in cold water, or 265° on candy thermometer. While syrup is cooking, beat egg whites until stiff but not dry. Add salt and the hot syrup, beating constantly, pouring slowly at first, and then a little faster. When mixture is stiff, beat with a wooden spoon until creamy. Stir in nuts and vanilla extract. Pour mixture into a buttered dish. Mark into 1-inch squares.

Makes 24 squares.
