  • Yield: About 24 pieces 1x

Description

This chewy, colorful nougat candy is a throwback to the classic Brach’s version, packed with sweet white chocolate, fluffy marshmallows, and fruity gumdrops. It’s easy enough for beginners and festive enough to impress at any holiday table. Make a batch, slice it up, and share the joy—if you don’t eat it all first.


Ingredients

Scale

2 bags (12 oz each) white chocolate chips

2 bags (10 oz each) mini marshmallows

5 tablespoons unsalted butter

2 cups gumdrops (or 2 packs of Swedish Fish, chopped)


Instructions

In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the white chocolate chips, marshmallows, and butter together. Stir constantly until smooth.

Remove from heat and let cool slightly—just a minute or two.

Stir in the gumdrops or chopped Swedish Fish until evenly distributed.

Pour the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined 9×13-inch pan and smooth out the top.

Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until completely set.

Cut into squares and serve.
