Four-Ingredient Nougat Bars

Ingredients

2 packages miniature marshmallows
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 packages white chocolate chips
1½ cups red and green gumdrops

Directions

Step 1: Melt the marshmallows
Place the marshmallows and melted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 1–2 minutes until the marshmallows expand, then stir until smooth.

Step 2: Melt the chocolate
In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth and fully melted.

Step 3: Combine the mixtures
Pour the melted chocolate into the marshmallow mixture and stir until evenly blended. The texture will be thick and sticky.

Step 4: Add the gumdrops
Fold in the gumdrops gently, making sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 5: Form the bars
Line a baking dish with parchment paper or foil, leaving extra hanging over the sides. Press the mixture evenly into the dish using a spatula or lightly greased hands.

Step 6: Chill
Place in the refrigerator for 1–2 hours, or until firm.

Step 7: Slice and serve
Use the overhanging paper to lift the nougat out of the pan. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into squares or bars.

Tips & Variations

Change up the add-ins: Mix in chopped nuts, dried fruit, or extra chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Experiment with chocolate: Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white, or combine different types for a marbled effect.
