Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 cup red and green gumdrops or chewy candy, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the dish: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Set aside to use later.
- Melt ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir thoroughly with a greased spatula.
- Continue melting: Microwave the mixture in 30 second increments, stirring well between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth without any lumps.
- Cool slightly and add candies: Let the melted mixture cool for about 1 minute, then gently fold in the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candies to distribute evenly.
- Transfer and press: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to press it into a flat, even layer for consistent thickness.
- Chill to set: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4 hours or preferably overnight to allow the candy to firm up.
- Slice and store: Once set, lift the candy out of the dish using the parchment paper. Remove the paper and slice the candy into small bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container for best freshness.
Notes
- Using parchment paper makes it easy to remove the candy from the pan without sticking.
- Make sure to stir the melting mixture well to prevent burning or uneven melting.
- Allowing the mixture to cool slightly before adding the candies prevents them from melting completely.
- Store the candy in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
- You can substitute gumdrops with other colorful chewy candies based on preference.
