Hazelnut Turkish delight is a variety of lokum, the chewy Turkish confection made with sugar and starch, with hazelnuts mixed in for a nutty bite. It is cut into small pieces and may be dusted or coated to keep the pieces from sticking. The texture is soft and springy, while the hazelnuts add a little crunch and richness.
