1. Prepare your 9x13 pan by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray and lining the bottom with rice paper. If you don't have rice paper, line the pan with parchment paper or foil and spray it thoroughly with nonstick cooking spray.

2.Scrape the nougat into the prepared pan. It will be stiff! Use a rubber spatula to scrape the candy from the sides of the bowl. Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray and press the candy into a thin, even layer.

3.Place an additional layer of rice paper on top of the nougat to cover it entirely. If you do not have rice paper, skip steps 3 and 4.

4.If your nougat is covered with rice paper, you can weigh it down to compress the nougat evenly. Place a second 9x13 pan on top of your nougat, and place a large book or other heavy object in the pan to weigh it down and provide even compression. Allow the nougat to set overnight.
