Nunt, or noent,<ref name=marks1999>Template:Cite book</ref> is a pastry originating from Jewish cuisine which vaguely resembles nougat. 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.<ref name=marks2010 /> 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.

Variants of nunt may also include poppy seeds (mohn pletzlach or mohnlach),<ref name=marks2010>Template:Cite book</ref> or honey enriched with ginger (ingberlach),<ref name=marks1999 /> or sesame seeds or sesame paste.
