Marshmallow Rose Petal Nougat Bars

Having a foodie daughter at home means I must keep up with the trends. I've heard nougat bars are very popular, so as her mom, I had to give it a try! Last year I created a recipe for rose petal nougat candy, and it was well received. Today's highlight is also rose petals.

Cooking Tips

You can preheat the marshmallows in the microwave for about 30 seconds to speed up the melting process. Always cook on low heat. If you want to add color, do so before adding the milk powder. This quantity fits perfectly in a nougat-shaping mold (though not completely full). If you'd like thicker bars, use about two-thirds of the mold. Use Taiwanese Chi Fu biscuits or popcorn if available. Otherwise, use whatever ingredients you have. Be sure to store leftovers in sealed bags to maintain freshness. Suggestions are welcome ๐ŸŒน
