Once the mixture is smooth, quickly fold in the gumdrops, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Pour the nougat mixture into your prepared pan, using a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Transfer the pan to the refrigerator and let it chill overnight, allowing the nougat to set firmly.
The following day, lift the set nougat out of the pan using the edges of the parchment paper and place it on a cutting board.
Using a sharp knife, cut the nougat into squares or bars, depending on your preference.
Storage Tip:
This nougat can be kept in the refrigerator for immediate consumption or stored in the freezer. If freezing, ensure the nougat squares are wrapped individually in plastic wrap or placed in an airtight container to prevent freezer burn and to maintain freshness.
Enjoy your delightful homemade nougat, perfect for a sweet treat or a festive gift!
