Valentine Nougat Candy Recipe: 

Author Jennifer

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 bags 10 oz each, white chocolate chips
  • 2 bags 10.5 oz each, mini marshmallows
  • pink gel food coloring
  • 1-½ cups red gumdrops quartered (Set aside about 25 gumdrop pieces for top)

Instructions

  • Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Add butter, chocolate chips and marshmallows to a very large saucepan and heat over medium low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is completely melted. This takes some time, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and fold in food coloring. Mix until evenly colored. Cool for 2 minutes. Fold in gumdrops.
  • Spread mixture into prepared pan.  Add reserved gumdrops to the top and gently press into the candy.
  • Let stand to cool completely and loosely cover, let stand overnight.
  • The next day, remove from the pan and discard the parchment paper. Use a sharp knife to cut into 30 squares. Serve immediately or cover until ready to serve.
