Indulge in the sweet and festive flavor of Jelly Nougat Candy! This delightful no-bake treat combines the creamy richness of white chocolate with the chewy goodness of marshmallows and colorful gumdrops. Perfect for holiday gatherings or as a special homemade gift.


Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
  • 1 bag (12 oz) white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups red and green gumdrops or jelly candies, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line an 8×8-inch or 9×9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth. Add the white chocolate chips and stir continuously until melted and fully incorporated. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Combine and Chill: Let the mixture cool for about 5 minutes, then gently fold in the chopped gumdrops or jelly candies. Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
  4. Serve: Once set, lift the candy out using the parchment, cut into small squares, and serve.
