Chocolate Covered Torrone Bar

From the Piedmont in northern Italy, a candy-bar sized slab of crispy, crunchy torrone nougat. It takes all day to slowly churn together honey, egg whites, and tons of roasted Piedmont hazelnuts into giant logs. Then they're cut into the size of enormous candy bars and enrobed in rich dark chocolate. Crunchy, nutty, decadent, and perfectly sized for slipping into a stocking. 

We get torrone nougat from Italy once a year. Though it has no preservatives, the torrone will keep for months when stored in a cool, dry spot.
