'''Nunt''', or noent,<ref name=marks1999>{{cite book |last1=Marks |first1=Gil |title=The: World of Jewish Cooking |date=2 September 1999 |publisher=Simon and Schuster |isbn=978-0-684-83559-4 |page=366 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=Ux2lGKCKVPYC&dq=mohnlach&pg=PA396 |language=en}}</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 [[honey|forest honey]], which is cooked along with [[sugar]] and then mixed with coarsely cut [[walnut]]s.<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 seed]]s (''mohn pletzlach'' or ''mohnlach''),<ref name=marks2010>{{cite book |last1=Marks |first1=Gil |title=Encyclopedia of Jewish Food |date=17 November 2010 |publisher=HMH |isbn=978-0-544-18631-6 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gFK_yx7Ps7cC&dq=%22Nunt%22+purim&pg=PT1454 |access-date=22 January 2023 |language=en}}</ref> or honey enriched with [[ginger]] (''ingberlach''),<ref name=marks1999 /> or [[sesame seeds]] or [[sesame paste]].
