STEP 4 — Mix In the Gummies

1. Once the nougat is smooth, remove from heat.
2. Gently fold in the gummy candies, making sure they’re evenly distributed.
3. Work quickly—the nougat begins to firm up as it cools.

💡 Tip: If using big gummies, chop them so each bite is colorful and chewy.

STEP 5 — Spread Into the Pan

1. Transfer the nougat mixture into your prepared baking dish.
2. Press it down evenly with a greased spatula or your hands (lightly oiled).
3. Smooth the top and make sure the gummies are not all clumped in one corner.

STEP 6 — Chill and Slice

1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm enough to cut.
2. Lift the nougat slab out using the parchment.
3. Slice into squares or bars using a sharp, greased knife.

⭐ Storage

• Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
• For a firmer texture, serve chilled.
• For a softer, chewier feel, let bars sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before eating.
