Your 3-Ingredient Magic Formula
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 cup gumdrops, chopped (red & green for the holidays!)
Optional: 1 tbsp butter for greasing
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare Your Pan
Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper
Lightly grease the parchment with butter or cooking spray
Step 2: Create the Nougat Base
In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine marshmallows and white chocolate chips
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth
Work quickly – the mixture will begin to set as it cools!
Step 3: Add the Gumdrops
Immediately stir in the chopped gumdrops until evenly distributed
The mixture will be very sticky – that’s perfect!
Step 4: Press and Chill
Transfer the mixture to your prepared pan
Use our pro-tip! Lightly grease a small piece of parchment paper and use it to press the mixture evenly into the pan
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight until completely firm
Step 5: Slice and Serve
Lift the slab out using the parchment paper
Use a sharp knife to cut into bars or squares
Store in an airtight container at room temperature
