Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 bags of white chocolate chips (two 225-gram bags)
- 2 bags of mini marshmallows (two 250-gram bags)
- 1 1/2 cups chopped red and green gumdrops (refer to notes below for purchasing information)
Instructions:
- Prepare an 8×8 square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
- Cut the gumdrops in half and set them aside.
- Melt the butter, white chocolate chips, and marshmallows together over indirect heat. Utilize a double boiler by
placing a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water, ensuring a snug fit to prevent burning. - Continuously stir the mixture until smooth and melted, being cautious not to overcook – the goal is to melt, not
cook. - Remove from heat and let it cool for approximately 2 minutes.
- Stir in the halved gumdrops, ensuring thorough mixing.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. Given its stickiness, use a lightly greased piece of parchment paper to
spread and pat the mixture down. - Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting; overnight refrigeration yields the best results.
- Cut into 60 bite-sized pieces.
- When storing the candies, use parchment paper between layers to prevent sticking.
