Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 ml) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups (300 g) milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup (150 g) mini marshmallows
- 1 cup (120 g) chopped nuts (e.g., almonds, pistachios, or walnuts)
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Pan
Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. This will prevent sticking and make it easier to cut the bars later. - Melt the Chocolate
In a medium saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and milk chocolate chips over low heat. Stir continuously until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. Be careful not to let it boil. - Mix in the Marshmallows and Nuts
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately fold in the mini marshmallows and chopped nuts. Stir until everything is well combined and the marshmallows are coated in the chocolate mixture. - Transfer to the Baking Pan
Pour the nougat mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly using a spatula. Press down gently to ensure the mixture is compact. - Chill and Set
Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the nougat has completely set and is firm to the touch. - Cut into Bars
Once set, lift the nougat out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into desired sizes (squares or rectangles). - Enjoy Your Treat!
Serve the nougat bars immediately or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. These delightful treats are perfect for sharing or enjoying as a sweet snack!
