Nutella Nougat

Nutella Nougat is a soft, fluffy nougat with a delicious chocolate-hazelnut flavor. Packed with toasted hazelnuts, it makes the perfect filling for homemade candy bars! As with many egg white-based candies, nougat does not do well in humidity, so try to choose a low humidity day to make this candy.

Ingredients

4 ounces unsweetened chocolate (finely chopped)

3 large egg whites (room temperature)

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 3/4 cups corn syrup (light)

1 1/3 cups granulated sugar

1/2 cup water

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/3 cup chocolate-hazelnut spread (like Nutella)

1 1/2 cups hazelnuts (toasted)

2 pounds chocolate candy coating (for dipping)
