Nougat With Almonds & Hazelnuts image

This candy is really simple to make and is very tasty...great for any occasion, especially if you're rather strapped for time! Look for hazelnut nougat in the baking aisle or in specialty cooking shops. It's the same stuff that's on the inside of Three Musketeers bars, so if you're desperate, you can peel off the chocolate coating and use that (yes, I have done this!).
