Gumdrop Nougat Candy


  • Author: Martha
  • Total Time: 2 hrs.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 (10-oz) bag mini marshmallows
  • 2 cups colorful gumdrops, chopped

Instructions

Melt the Base

  1. Prep Your Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving extra on the sides for easy removal.
  2. Melt Butter and Chocolate: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Stir in the mini marshmallows and heat for 15-20 seconds. Mix until fully melted and combined.

Add Gumdrops

  1. Fold in Gumdrops: Allow the nougat mixture to cool slightly before folding in the chopped gumdrops to prevent them from melting.

Set the Candy

  1. Spread in Pan: Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
  2. Chill: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.

Cut and Serve

  1. Slice Into Pieces: Lift the nougat out of the pan using the parchment paper and cut into bite-sized squares with a sharp knife.
