What is Nougat ball?
A nougat ball is a small, round confection made from nougat, a sweet mixture that commonly combines sugar or honey with ingredients such as nuts. Recipes and textures vary: some are soft and chewy, while others are firmer or have a coating. Nougat sweets appear in different forms across several confectionery traditions, so the exact style depends on how the ball is made.
It is typically enjoyed as a small treat with coffee or tea, or after a meal. The texture is rich and the flavour distinctly sweet; at about 485 calories per 100 g, it is energy-dense, so one small piece can be satisfying.
