Four Ingredient Nougat Bars, 1st Recipes Style (Print Version)

Soft, chewy no-bake nougat bars made with marshmallows, white chocolate, butter, and colorful gumdrops.

# Ingredients:

For the nougat bars

01 - 2 bags (10 oz/283 g each) mini marshmallows
02 - 2 bags (12 oz/340 g each) white chocolate chips
03 - 2 tablespoons (28 g) unsalted butter
04 - 1 1/2 cups (240 g) red and green gumdrops, halved

For the pan

05 - Cooking spray or neutral oil, for parchment and knife

# Instructions:

01 - Line a 9x13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang on two sides. Lightly grease the parchment.
02 - Slice the gumdrops in half, or quarter any large pieces. Keep them ready near the stove.
03 - Bring 1 inch of water to a gentle simmer in a saucepan. Set a heatproof bowl over the pan without letting the bowl touch the water.
04 - Add the white chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and butter to the bowl. Stir slowly for 8-10 minutes, until smooth and thick.
05 - Remove the bowl from heat and let the mixture cool for 1-2 minutes. Fold in the gumdrops until evenly scattered.
06 - Scrape the mixture into the prepared pan. Press it level with greased parchment, then refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
07 - Lift the slab from the pan using the parchment. Cut into small bars with a warm, lightly greased knife.

# Notes:

01 - Chilling overnight gives the neatest slices.
02 - Use fresh, soft gumdrops for the best texture.
03 - Nutrition is an estimate per bar.
