Ingredients
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package (10 oz) mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups gummy candies (such as gumdrops or jelly beans), chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Set aside.
- Melt the Base: In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the white chocolate chips and butter. Stir constantly until melted and smooth.
- Add Marshmallows: Lower the heat to medium-low and add the mini marshmallows. Stir until completely melted and combined with the chocolate mixture.
- Incorporate Gummies: Remove the saucepan from heat and quickly fold in the chopped gummy candies. Mix until the gummies are evenly distributed.
- Transfer to Pan: Pour the nougat mixture into the prepared pan, pressing it down evenly with a spatula or greased hands.
- Cool and Set: Let the candy cool at room temperature for 2-3 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour, until firm.
- Cut and Serve: Remove the nougat from the pan using the parchment overhang. Slice into bite-sized squares and serve.
Notes
- Flavor Twist: Try using fruit-flavored marshmallows or mix in sour gummy candies or fruit-flavored jelly beans.
- Chocolate Swap: You can substitute milk or dark chocolate for the white chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Nutty Option: Add crushed nuts (almonds, cashews) for a crunchy texture.
