Servings 30 squares
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 20-24 ounces mini-marshmallows
- 1 bag white chocolate chips
- 1 1/2 cups red and green gum drops or Dot candy quartered
Instructions
- You will need about 10 red and 10 green quartered Gumdrops or Dot candy.
- Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper and lightly spray with a nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large non-stick pot, melt together some butter, a bag of white chocolate chips, and mini-marshmallows over low to medium-low heat. Make sure to stir constantly over LOW until everything is beautifully melted and combined! This process takes approximately 10-12 minutes and should be done gradually while continuously stirring for the best results.
- Remove chocolate from heat and cool for 2 minutes
- Gently fold 1 cup of quartered gumdrops into the mixture using a spatula; spread evenly.
- Add 1/2 cup, the reserved gumdrops, to the top of the nougat and gently press into the surface of the candy.
- Chill your Christmas Nougat overnight to let it set perfectly! Once it’s ready, take it out of the fridge, remove it from the pan, and peel away the parchment paper. With a sharp knife, slice it into 30 delightful squares. Enjoy the gumdrop candy right away, or cover it and store in the fridge until it’s time to serve
