About the Holiday

National Nougat Day celebrates this sweet candy typically made with sugar, egg whites, and nuts (usually almonds but sometimes pistachios or hazelnuts). It is often topped with melted chocolate as we see in the three popular nougat candy bars named Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, and Snickers. Per Merriam-Webster.com the word nougat is French, from Occitan, from Old Occitan nogat, from noga nut. The word nougat is pronounced new-git.
