Time 25m

Yield 60 Pieces

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 tablespoons butter
2 (225 g) bags white chocolate chips (2 - 225 gram bags each)
2 (225 g) bags mini marshmallows (2 - 250 gram bags each)
1 1/2 cups chopped red gumdrops and green gumdrops (can be purchased on Amazon)

Steps:

  • Prepare an 8×8 square baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Cut the gumdrops in half. (Easily cut with kitchen shears). Set aside.
  • Melt the butter, white chocolate chips and marshmallows together over indirect heat. Do this by using a double boiler: Put 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.
  • 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 from heat.
  • Let cool for about 2 minutes.
  • With a spatula, fold in the gumdrops. Mix well.
  • Pour the mixture into the prepared pan.
  • The mixture will be very sticky. Can 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.
