Torrone Morbido (Soft Nougat)
Torrone morbido (soft nougat) is a traditional Italian nougat that differs from its more brittle counterpart. It boasts a soft and chewy texture, making it a delectable treat for those who prefer a more tender bite. The core ingredients typically include almonds or hazelnuts, honey, sugar, and egg whites - but this recipe is a little bit different and a whole lot easier!

- 320 g chocolate chips white or semi-sweet
- 260 g hazelnuts roasted, peeled & chopped
- 260 g almonds roasted, peeled & chopped
- 500 g marshmallows
- Wafer sheets
Instructions
- In a large pot melt the butter and chocolate over low heat.
