It's my goal to cook through many of my pinterest pins throughout this break. I had pinned several version of this candy recipe and found all of them lacked something, so I decided to make my own based on what I have learned. I was hesitant to try the "cheater" nougat recipes out there, especially since I just bought a brand new kitchen thermometer, but I have to say the white chocolate/marshmallow one is super easy and tastes great! No thermometer required.
I looked all over for red and green gum drops but I couldn't find any in the Christmas candy aisle, so I bought 3 movie theater size boxes of Dots and picked out all the red and green ones. Bonus: I get to eat the orange, yellow and pink ones myself. I am a big fan of Dots and all the other weird candy people don't like, such as Good and Plenty or Mary Janes.
Christmas Nougat Candy
1 T. butter
1 11 oz bag Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips
1 10 oz bag mini marshmallows
1 c. gumdrops, cut in half
Line an 8X8 inch pan with parchment paper, and grease it lightly with butter. Heat butter in a double boiler until melted. Add chocolate and marshmallows and heat in double boiler until melted. Remove from heat and let cool for a couple minutes. Add gumdrops and stir until distributed. Pour into prepared pan and smooth down top with a piece of buttered parchment paper. Refrigerate at least 2 hours.
Cut nougat into 1/2 inch strips, and then 1/2 inch squares. Wrap in cellophane candy wrappers.
Enjoy!!!
Merry Christmas
