🍫 If you meant a description or visual idea:
A pan of nougat bars would look like a rectangular baking dish lined with parchment, filled with a glossy, creamy nougat mixture — white or light caramel in color — studded with roasted nuts (like almonds, pistachios, or hazelnuts) and perhaps bits of dried fruit. Once it cools, the nougat is sliced into even bars, chewy and shiny on top, often wrapped in wax paper.
