What does NOUGAT mean in Scrabble?
noun
A chewy sweet made from sugar or honey, egg white, and nuts, sometimes with pieces of dried fruit.
Nougat is made by whipping egg whites with hot sugar or honey syrup until the mixture turns thick and airy, then folding in nuts such as almonds or pistachios before it sets. Its texture ranges from soft and chewy to firm and brittle depending on how long the syrup is cooked. The sweet appears across Mediterranean and Central European confectionery and is also a common layer inside chocolate bars.
