Nunt

Nunt, or noent,^[1] is a candy originating from Ashkenazi Jewish cuisine which vaguely resembles nougat or brittle. The pastry is predominantly served at the Jewish celebration of Purim, where self-made sweets are customarily given to neighbours and friends. Nunt is traditionally made from dark forest honey, which is cooked along with sugar and then mixed with coarsely cut walnuts.^[2] The result is placed on a smooth, wet board or an oiled marble plate, left to cool, and then cut into small rhombic-shaped pieces.
