[@mike856ms]

Could we use wax paper instead of parchment? I'm so making this.

[@Thisisit120]

It has been my experience that wax paper will not release hot things like parchment paper.

[@dianenyc7697]

Bought back memories! I will be making it! Thank you! ❤️

[@coolwater55]

I love you for posting this simple recipe! My favourite as a child! A suggestion: I use a oversized large Tupperware bowl for melting marshmallows in strong plastic ware as it does not stick to edges, as tends to so with glass. Another thought is to use a stiff heavy duty plastic/vinyl/stiff silicone lifter like one uses for flipping eggs. Again, it does not stick as bad and should sustain the strength to stir. In Italian nougat, I think a final step of very light dusting of icing sugar is a barrier for preventing some sticking before wrapping. When I have time, I will try this! Thank you! 😊

[@Roxy-ch4gv]

You can buy rice paper sheets which is what Torrone uses

[@donnakillewald9151]

I wish stores still had Brach’s Pick a Mix displays. But, then I wish there was still Penny Candy, for a penny. And Candy Bars for a nickel, and Dairy Queen cones for 10 cents. Those were the days!

I am a 70's kid as well. I got flashbacks listening to you. I loved the candy as well. Thanks for the recipe.

[@trina7274]

I’m 51 Noreen and this reminds me so much of my childhood!!! Our next door neighbor, when I was little...(we lived out in the country in Oregon) he was a little old man and he always had these candy squares wrapped in plastic in his shirt pocket..... he and his wife would buy the candy just to give to me, because it was my VERY favorite. ......and he would always give me one..... just like magic...I fell for it every time! I really did think it was magic, that my favorite nougat candy would end up in his shirt pocket somehow!!! It’s one of my very first memories..... him picking me up, walking me around the garden, looking at all the pretty flowers, while I enjoyed my magic candy!! Our neighbors were an elderly couple, they didn’t have any children and they absolutely adored me. They treated me just like their own ..... what lovely people they were 💕❤️🙏 I had a very painful childhood and I’m so grateful for Mr and Mrs Cooper loving on me the way they did!! They made a huge difference in my life and it all started with that nougat candy!! (That you can’t find in the store any more.... I bet I haven’t seen it in 20 years or more) Can’t wait to make this 💕❤️ thank you!

[@marlenejones6266]

What a lovely memory of two people who should have been grandparents..... well they were grandma and grandpa to you. Thank you for sharing. It's nice to hear you all had each other for a time.

Thank you for sharing your story. Brachs still makes the candy nougat at Easter time. I find them at Dollar General stores. This year I found 14 bags.... bought them all.

[@FaithRoss2817]

What a lovely memory for you. It sounds like you made a big difference in the older couples lives too. I live in a very small town in Mid Michigan and we have a small fruit market that still carries all the Brach's candies. The nougats are my favorite and I treat myself to a few every time I go there

[@reneegembala1445]

You may still order them on line directly from Brach Candies. They are a little softer now but that’s you get them so fresh

[@sevenandthelittlestmew]

I was tempted to make nougat for the holidays a couple years ago, and they sell a rice paper that is totally edible (!) that acts like parchment, but you leave it on the nougat, because you can eat it. I think it would be a game changer here.

[@Suzismart]

I see this only at Easter... And it makes me think of my mama. It was her favorite.

[@lxy7820]

@@cstar44b91 Not perfectly exactly, but it was pretty close, and the nougat was very delicious. What kind of gummy candies you use will make a difference. If you like to experiment, you can also potentially add all kinds of goodies to the basic nougat also.

[@noclu4u384]

That message was from 4 years ago. . You cant find them anymore . I just talked to Brachs and they discontinued them .

[@grampabadger]

I just made four batches of this candy. I put the chips, butter and marshmallows all together in the glass bowl and run it for 20 seconds at a time in the microwave until it is melted sufficiently to put in the dots. I also cut the Dots in half, but that's probably not necessaary, though it allows them to go a bit farther (Dots are hard to find in this location this year). I just go right to a dish lined with parchment paper sprayed with cooking oil, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for a couple of hours before cutting. This candy is great and is well received by everyone who gets a chance to sample it. It brings back memories of never getting enough of it when I was a kid.

[@sandytmobile4467]

I love this candy wow. Making it. I just did potato pinwheel candy. Mom had alot of kids so I'm happy to make them. Ten kids back in 1965 mom did everything.

[@Hatbox948]

[@robicarm]

Bet this would work with peppermint candy. It seems there was Brachs soft nougat in peppermint that was round and had a Christmas tree in the middle. My Grandmother had a candy jar filled with the assorted flavored chewy toffees in the shiny metallic wrappers. I'd pick out butter rum, coffee, vanilla. Then Neopolatian coconut squares.

[@NoreensKitchenOriginal]

That was peppermint taffy. Very different
