Ingredients
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 baking dish: Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Melt the ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, add butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir with a greased spatula. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Cool the mixture: Allow the melted mixture to cool for about 1 minute so it thickens slightly but remains pliable.
- Add the candies: Fold in the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candies evenly into the melted mixture.
- Set the candy: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to press it into a flat, even layer.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or up to overnight, to allow the candy to set firmly.
- Slice and store: Remove the candy from the dish by lifting the parchment paper. Peel off the paper and slice the candy into small bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container for best freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute gumdrops with your favorite chewy candies or holiday-themed sprinkles.
- Make sure to use a greased spatula to avoid sticking when stirring the melted mixture.
- For easier cutting, warm the knife slightly before slicing the candy.
- Store the candy in a cool place to prevent melting, especially if your environment is warm.
- This recipe can be doubled to fit a larger baking dish for more servings.
