Prepare an 8-inch square or round pan by lining it with butter paper and greasing it with butter.

In a separate pan, dry roast almonds and pistachios on medium-low heat for 2-3 minutes, then set aside.

In the same pan, add some butter and melt it.

Add 150 grams of halal marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously with a silicone spatula over medium-low heat.

Once the marshmallows are melted, add the roasted almonds and pistachios, followed by 1/2 cup of milk powder and 1/2 cup of dried cranberries or cherries for a tangy flavor.

Stir the mixture until it pulls away from the sides of the pan.

Quickly transfer the nougat mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly.

Top the nougat with dried rose petals and optional dried rose buds if available.

Refrigerate for 1 hour to set the nougat.

Once set, cut the nougat into pieces with a sharp knife.
