Pro Tips for Perfect Nougat Bars
Cut gumdrops easily: Lightly coat the knife with non-stick spray to prevent sticking when cutting the gumdrops.
Use a double boiler: If you don’t have a double boiler, you can create one by placing a heatproof bowl over a simmering pot of water.
Allow time to set: Let the nougat rest overnight for the perfect texture—resist the temptation to cut too early.
For easy cutting: Once set, use a sharp knife warmed slightly under hot water to slice through the nougat smoothly.
