There are two types of nougat. One is brown and crunchy and one is white and soft (the more complicated to make calling for egg white). This recipe is for the brown crunchy type and is neither good nor bad. It is just a recipe.

This is a really BAD recipe. Tried it, wasted a bid load of almonds, and unfortunately did my research after. Most Nougat recipes I have found have far more ingredients and are not nearly as simple as this recipe.
