Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
- 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
- 1 cup red and green gumdrops or chewy candy, chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Set the dish aside.
- Melt main ingredients: Place the butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir using a greased spatula to combine.
- Continue melting mixture: Microwave the bowl in 30 second increments, stirring thoroughly between each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Fold in candies: Allow the melted mixture to cool slightly for about 1 minute, then gently fold in the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candy until evenly distributed.
- Press mixture into dish: Transfer the candy mixture to 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 refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or overnight to allow the candy to firm up.
- Slice and store: Lift the candy out of the dish using the parchment paper. Remove the paper and cut the candy into small, bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container for freshness.
Notes
- Use greased spatula or buttered utensils to prevent sticking while stirring the melted mixture.
- Microwave times may vary; continue to stir and melt in short increments to avoid overheating.
- For a festive touch, use colored gumdrops to add vibrant flavors and appearances.
- Store candy in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge to maintain freshness.
- If you prefer a firmer candy, chill it overnight for the best texture.
