Tips & Variations

• For a different texture, try using chopped hazelnuts or pistachios instead of sliced almonds.
• If you prefer a sweeter treat, use milk chocolate; for a richer flavor, dark chocolate is best.
• Adding a pinch of sea salt to the mixture enhances the chocolate and Nutella flavors.

Storage

Store the Viennese-nougat in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. You can also freeze it for up to one month; thaw in the fridge before serving. Serve chilled or at room temperature for best texture.

FAQs

Can I use only one type of chocolate?
