Nougat Day

🍬

On March 26th, let’s all partake,
On Nougat Day, our taste buds awake.
A holiday to celebrate this delight,
Filled with sugary goodness and might.

Nougat is a candy so fine,
With a texture that’s perfectly divine.
A blend of honey and egg white
With nuts to make it just right

History shows this candy’s fame
From ancient times, its claim to name
In Europe, it found its home
And from there, its sweetness has grown

The name “nougat” is said to derive
From the Latin word “nux,” to describe
The nuts that give nougat its crunch
A treat that’s sure to pack a punch

To make nougat, you’ll need to heat
Sugar, honey, and egg white neat
Cooked to perfection, then mixed with nuts,
Cut and formed, then out of the ruts.

Nougat is different from other candy,
With a texture that’s unique and dandy.
Soft and chewy, with nuts galore,
A taste that’s worth coming back for more.

So celebrate this nougat day
With friends and family, come what may
Indulge in this sweet and nutty treat
And enjoy every moment, oh so sweet

So, happy Nougat Day to all
May your taste buds have a ball
Take a bite and let out a cheer
For nougat, the candy we hold dear!
