Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 20 ounces mini marshmallows
  • 4 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups gumdrops, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  • Prepare the Gumdrops:
    • Chop the gumdrops into small pieces and set aside.
    • Tip: Lightly dust the gumdrops with powdered sugar to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Melt the Base Ingredients:
    • In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
    • Add the mini marshmallows, stirring constantly until they are completely melted and smooth.
    • Gradually stir in the white chocolate chips until they melt and become fully incorporated.
  • Add the Gumdrops:
    • Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the mixture to cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
    • Gently fold in the gumdrop pieces until they are evenly distributed.
  • Shape the Candy:
    • Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
    • Pour the nougat mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly with a spatula.
  • Chill and Cut:
    • Place the dish in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours until the nougat is firm.
    • Once set, remove the nougat from the dish, peel off the parchment paper, and cut it into small squares or rectangles.

Notes

  • To prevent the gumdrops from sticking to each other, dust them with a small amount of powdered sugar.
  • This candy can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Feel free to experiment with different types of gumdrops or add other fun mix-ins like chopped nuts or chocolate chips.
