Pour mixture into the pan and press down evenly with a spatula or greased hands.
Chill
Refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
Coat with white chocolate
Melt white chocolate chips in the microwave (30-second bursts, stir between).
Spread over the top of the chilled nougat.
Optional: Sprinkle with rainbow sprinkles or crushed candy.
Slice & serve
Chill another 15–20 minutes until chocolate is set.
Cut into squares or bars.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
