Nougat bars are a great, tasty treat thatโs perfect for if you want something thatโs really easy to make. It is something thatโs fun, and theyโre absolutely amazing.
You can make them with three ingredients, or four ingredients, depending on how you want to incorporate it. You can even make these gluten-free if you want! Plus, itโs super easy to do.
Another great thing about this, is that theyโre small. If you want to eat a handful of these, youโre not going to feel regret with this, and youโll be able to feel good if you have a couple of these after dinner, and theyโre so tasty you definitely will have to hold back from having more than just a couple of them.
What gumdrops should I use?
Try to get the sugar-free ones. The reason being, not just because theyโre healthier, but they donโt stick together as much, which can make a huge difference in the way that youโre able to pull them off.
It also makes it a lot easier for you to put together the dish when youโre done, and when you cut this out in order to serve it, itโs easier to manipulate, so itโs better in the long haul for a few people, thatโs for sure.
INGREDIENTS
2 tbsp butter
2 bags white chocolate chips (2 of the 225 gram bags)
2 bags of mini marshmallows (2 of the 250 gram bags)
1 1/2 cups chopped red and green gumdrops (see notes below for where to buy them)
INSTRUCTIONS
Get a baking dish and line it with parchment paper along the inside.
Take the gumdrops, put them in half and then put these inside
Grab the butter and melt it, and then, whisk together your marshmallows and the white chocolate so that itโs able to be mixed together. You want to do this with some indirect heat. The best way to do this is to get a bowl thatโs heatproof, submerge it in water thatโs simmering a little bit, ensuring this is snugly put together so that it doesnโt cause it to burn
Stir this together until everythingโs melted and smoothed out. Itโs good to make sure that you donโt cook this, but rather you just melt it.
Take this off the heat, let it sit down there to cool for a couple minutes then put the gumdrops in there, stirring them in so that they are able to mixed well together.
Take the mixture, put this inside the pan thatโs prepared. It will be very sticky when you do put this in there, so you may need to cut off another piece of parchment paper to spread this out.
Once itโs evened out, let it sit for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, and then cut all of this into smaller pieces to serve!
You can store these in the fridge, and theyโre a great way to do so. you can also store them on the counter. Just when youโre done, make sure to take the ones that are on top and put some parchment paper in between this so that the items donโt stick altogether, in order to ensure an even, easy layer thatโs there to be used.
