Nougat bars have long been a part of traditional home kitchens, especially during festive seasons. They were often prepared using basic ingredients, stirred by hand, and set in humble trays—no fancy equipment required. The process was simple, but the result was unforgettable: soft, chewy, nut-filled sweetness that brought families together.
If this recipe feels familiar, it’s because it comes from a time when cooking relied more on instinct than instruction.
This vintage-style nougat bar recipe proves that great flavor doesn’t need a long ingredient list:

White chocolate for structure and smooth texture
