Title: Nougatkonfekt Nougat Sweets
Ingredients:
– 200g dark chocolate, chopped
– 100g nougat, chopped
– 50g unsalted butter
– 100g hazelnuts, roasted and roughly chopped
– 50g dried cranberries
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
– Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Begin by preparing a double boiler by placing a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Add the chopped dark chocolate to the bowl and stir occasionally until fully melted and smooth.
2. In a separate saucepan, melt the nougat and butter together over low heat, stirring continuously until well combined and smooth.
3. Once the nougat mixture is smooth, remove it from the heat and stir in the roasted hazelnuts, dried cranberries, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix everything together until evenly distributed.
4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the parchment paper, spreading it out into an even layer.
5. Spoon dollops of the nougat mixture on top of the chocolate layer, using a spoon to swirl them together gently for a marbled effect.
6. Place the baking tray in the refrigerator and allow the Nougatkonfekt Nougat Sweets to set for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
7. Once the sweets are fully set, remove them from the refrigerator and carefully cut them into bite-sized squares or rectangles using a sharp knife.
8. Serve the Nougatkonfekt Nougat Sweets on a decorative platter or package them in a box tied with ribbon for a delightful homemade gift.
