Dark Chocolate Peanut Nougat

This is nougat built like a slice: three layers, starting with a peanut butter brittle base, then a dark chocolate nougat, then a top of dark chocolate with crushed peanuts and sea salt. It's the one for people who find traditional nougat too sweet, because the dark chocolate and salt pull it the other way.

Nougat & Nice was started in Bunbury, Western Australia, in 2016 by pastry chef Sarah Sorensen, and the layering here is a pastry chef's idea of nougat. Every batch is made in the business's own kitchen in the South West, and the factory outlet in East Bunbury is open to the public, with a share of its sales going to local community groups, clubs and schools.

Cut it into small squares for afternoon tea, or pack a block for a long car trip.
