Pretty & Delicious Nougat Candy!
This simple recipe makes lots ~
about 77 pieces.
parchment paper
butter for greasing
2 cups gumdrops*
2 tablespoons butter
2 3/4 cups white chocolate chips
12 cups miniature marshmallows
plastic wrap (optional)**
Method:
Line an 8 inch square pan with parchment paper. Use a small amount of butter to lightly grease the parchment paper. Set aside.
Cut the gumdrops in half and set aside.
Add 2 inches of water to a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Bring to a boil and then reduce the heat to simmering. Place a heatproof bowl, that fits snuggly, over the top of the pot. Add the butter, chocolate chips and marshmallows to the bowl.
Melt all of the ingredients, stirring constantly. (The bowl should not touch the water.) Heat just until the mixture is melted and well blended, being careful not to overheat or burn.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a couple of minutes. Stir in the gumdrops until well combined into the melted mixture. Pour into the prepared pan. If the mixture does not settle evenly, use a buttered silicone spatula or piece of parchment paper to pat and spread in the pan. Refrigerate for 2 hours or longer. (even overnight) Use the parchment paper to lift the chilled nougat from the pan. Use a sharp knife to cut into about 82 pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator, with sheets of waxed paper, or parchment paper, in between the layers of nougat.
*For Easter, I use pink and yellow gumdrops. In the Fall, I use yellow, orange and red gumdrops. At Christmas, I use red and green gumdrops.

**I cut squares of plastic wrap and wrapped each piece of nougat individually. This makes them easier to store and give as gifts. 🍬
Notes: These nougat candies are delicious and so simple to make! My husband doesn't like white chocolate or gum drops, so he was skeptical about trying these candies. He was very pleased and surprised at how much he likes this nougat❣ Everyone else who tried them loved them, too. 🥰
