Turrón is a popular Spanish nougat candy that comes in many different varieties. While it is available all year, it is a delicious treat especially enjoyed during the Christmas season in Spain. It is typically made of honey, sugar, and egg whites, with toasted almonds or other nuts. There are many different kinds of turrón. Some examples are Turrón de Almendra (almond), Turrón de Cacauete (Peanut) and Turrón de Avellana (roasted hazelnut).Turrón may be classified as two types: duro and blando. Turrón duro or hard turrón is similar to Peanut Brittle. Turrón blando or soft turrón is made into a paste, creating a softer and chewier candy.
