杏桃牛軋糖

The apricot pieces are what make this — little tart bursts against the soft, chewy nougat instead of just straight sugar. I meant to save half the box for later and failed within two days.

I love how the creamy nougat melts in your mouth while the apricot bits add just the right amount of chewiness. Perfectly balanced sweetness.

The nougat is softer and chewier than I expected, and it doesn't stick to my teeth like other ones do. I keep a few in my desk drawer for an afternoon pick-me-up and the apricot keeps it from tasting too sugary.
