Ingredients
Instructions
- In a saucepan, combine sugar, butter, and evaporated milk. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using sweetened condensed milk instead of evaporated milk. If you're looking to cut down on sugar, try using a sugar substitute that measures cup-for-cup like Stevia. Make sure to beat the mixture thoroughly after adding the chocolate chips to ensure everything is well combined. For an extra layer of flavor, add a pinch of sea salt to the mix.
Serving Suggestions
These nougats are perfect for dessert platters or as a sweet treat alongside coffee or tea. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat. For a festive touch, serve with a drizzle of melted chocolate or a sprinkle of chopped nuts on top. They also make a great addition to any holiday dessert spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store the No Bake Fudge Nougats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, refrigerate them, where they can last up to two weeks. For serving, cut into squares and let them come to room temperature before enjoying for the best texture.
