Gumdrop Nougat Candy (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
500g of small marshmallows.
02 -
450g of white chocolate chips.
03 -
1 and a half cups of diced gumdrops.
04 -
2 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
# Instructions:
01 -
Cover the inside of an 8x8-inch square pan with parchment paper, making sure it extends beyond the edges for easy lifting.
02 -
Halve all the gumdrops and set them aside. You’ll mix them in later.
03 -
Place a heatproof bowl on top of a pot with gently simmering water. This creates a double boiler.
04 -
Into the bowl, add the butter, your marshmallows, and the white chocolate chips.
05 -
Keep stirring until everything is melted and turns smooth.
06 -
Make sure you’re just melting the ingredients. Don’t let them actually cook!
07 -
Once the melted mixture is ready, take the bowl off the heat.
08 -
Leave the melted mixture to cool down for about two minutes.
09 -
Gently fold the diced gumdrops into the mixture. Make sure they’re evenly mixed in.
10 -
Spread the entire mixture into the prepared pan.
11 -
Use greased parchment paper to press the mixture into the pan evenly.
12 -
With the greased parchment, smooth the top layer so it doesn’t stick.
13 -
Refrigerate it for at least two hours—or better yet, overnight—until it’s completely firm.
14 -
Once firm, slice the nougat into 60 mini pieces, perfect for snacking.
15 -
If storing, separate layers of nougat with parchment paper to keep them from sticking.
