Chewy candy bar filling (6)

I believe the answer is:

nougat

(Other definitions for nougat that I've seen before include "Type of confection" , "Hard, chewy sweet" , "Sweet made from honey, egg white and nuts" , "'Chewy sweet with nuts, cherries (6)'" , "Honeyed sweet" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
