This traditional Italian nougat is typically made with almonds, but we’ve substituted pistachios for their bright color and delicate flavor.

Torrone can vary from firm to soft, but this one has a nice, subtle chew. Flavorless sheets of edible wafer paper keep the strips from sticking to one another.
