Ingredients
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 Baking Dish: Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it to prevent sticking. Set aside.
- Melt Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir with a greased spatula. Continue microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Cool Mixture: Let the melted mixture cool for about 1 minute to make it easier to fold in candies without melting them further.
- Fold in Candies: Gently fold in the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Press into Dish: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and use a spatula to press it into a flat, even layer for easy slicing later.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or overnight, to let the candy set properly.
- Slice and Serve: 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
- Ensure the marshmallows are fully melted for a smooth texture; microwave cautiously to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Store candy in an airtight container at room temperature if consuming within a day, otherwise refrigerate.
- Substitute gumdrops with your favorite chewy candy or dried fruit for variation.
- Allow the candy to fully set in the fridge to make slicing easier and cleaner.
