Chocolate nougat is a treat that children and chocolate lovers adore. Nougat in chocolate is prepared using chocolate with a high cocoa content. The whole process takes two to three hours, but the result is delicious. Nougat is considered an oriental treat, but the invention of the chocolate version belongs to the French. Because of the nuts, it can be considered healthy, although very high in calories.
