Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 (225 gram) bags white chocolate chips (DO NOT USE Chipits)
- 2 (250 gram) bags of mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cups chopped red and pink gumdrops or jujubes (see notes below for where to buy them)
Instructions
- Prepare an 8×8 square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. This is a must…you HAVE TO line the pan or you will never get the candies out.
- Melt the butter, white chocolate chips and marshmallows together over indirect heat. To do this I create a double boiler by putting a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of gently simmering water (making sure that the bowl and pan fit together snug). This ensures that the mixture doesn’t burn. See the pictures below.
- Continuously stir the mixture until it is smooth and melted together, making sure not to cook the mixture…the goal is to just melt, not cook.
- Remove the mixture from the heat and let cool for about 2 minutes.
- Then stir in the chopped gumdrops. Mix well.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared pan. TIP! The mixture will be very sticky, so I use a lightly greased piece of parchment paper to help spread and pat the mixture down into the pan.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting, overnight is best.
- Cut into 60 bite sized pieces.
- To store the candies, use parchment paper between layers so the candies don’t stick together.
- Enjoy!
Notes
About the white chocolate chips: Use ONLY real white chocolate chips, DO NOT USE Chipits…Chipits don’t melt.
