Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Butter | 2 tablespoons |
| White chocolate chips | 1 (12 oz) bag |
| Mini marshmallows | 1 (10 oz) bag |
| Red and green gumdrops/chewy candy | 1 cup, chopped |
Instructions:
- Prepare the baking dish: Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Set it aside.
- Melt the ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Microwave for 1 minute.
- Stir and continue melting: Stir the contents with a greased spatula. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Cool and add candies: Allow the melted mixture to cool for about 1 minute. Then, fold in the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candy.
- Transfer and press: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use the spatula to press it into a flat and even layer.
- Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the candy to set completely.
- Cut 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: Store the candy in an airtight container for best results.
