  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chipsmini marshmallowsbutter, and salt.
  2. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as white chocolate can burn easily.

Step 3: Add the Gumdrops

  1. Allow the melted mixture to cool slightly (about 2–3 minutes) to prevent the gumdrops from melting.

Step 4: Spread and Set

  1. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula.
  2. Press gently to ensure the mixture is smooth and level.

Step 5: Chill

  1. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the candy is firm enough to slice.

Step 6: Slice and Serve

  1. Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the nougat out of the pan.
  2. Slice into small squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.
  3. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer storage.
