It's what's called "nougat" in the strange idiom of chocolate bars, which as we know only vaguely resembles real-world nougat. (Similarly "honeycomb".)
Buffy: You tossed that vamp like he was a... little teeny vamp. Riley: You wanna go again? C'mon. I bet this place is just teeming with aerodynamic vampires.

"Noo-gat" is how I pronounce it.
Mmm, candy bars. No, I have nothing else to add to this discussion.
[Edit: Actually, I think I say it "noo-git" like Lady O'Spain.]

Red hair and black leather--my favorite color scheme.
Nooo-git. I don't know why.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Nooo-git. I don't know why.
I think that's how they pronounce it in the commercials.

Really? Our commercials say "noo-gah" (which is approximately correct).

It's a remora, dimwit.
I usually hear it as coming close to rhyming with Ted Nugent's surname.

somewhere between noo-git and noo-gat. :)
And now I still have a candybar craving. But YAY for finding out that next time I'm in NYC I can go find a deepfried bar! WOOHOO!!!

I can't muster up any enthusiasm whatsoever for a deep-fried candy bar. Ugh.
Do you (Aussies) really pronounce it "noo-gah" over here? Weird. But you also pronouce "fillet" as "fill-it"!

Guess what I learned on the radio this morning?
There exist Mary Sue Candies.
Of course, I thought of the Buffistas.
I've been extensively briefed by canadians about the Rightness of Smarties. Too bad I'm not a major fan of chocolate.
