5 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Nougat

Instructions:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, sweetened condensed milk, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined, and the mixture forms a thick dough-like consistency.

2. Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the nougat later.

3. Transfer the nougat mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture evenly into the dish, smoothing the surface.

4. Place the nougat in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.

5. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips using a double boiler or by microwaving them in short intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.

6. Take the nougat out of the refrigerator and pour the melted chocolate over the top, spreading it evenly to cover the entire surface.

7. Return the nougat to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate has set.

8. Once the chocolate has solidified, remove the nougat from the baking dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place it on a cutting board.

9. Use a sharp knife to cut the nougat into small squares or bars of your desired size.

10. Serve and enjoy the delicious 5-Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Nougat! It can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Note: You can also customize this recipe by adding chopped peanuts to the nougat mixture for an extra crunch or drizzling melted chocolate on top for a decorative touch.
