Total Time 2 hours hrs 15 minutes mins
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 package 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 ½ cups gummy candies chopped (gumdrops or jelly beans)
Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and butter.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until melted and smooth.
Stir in mini marshmallows and mix until completely melted and fully combined.
Quickly fold in chopped gummy candies, stirring gently to avoid breaking them down.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a spatula.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
Cut into squares and store in an airtight container.
-
Work quickly once the marshmallows are melted, as the mixture sets fast.
-
Use a silicone spatula to gently fold in gummies without tearing them.
-
Store in the refrigerator for best texture and shape.
-
Avoid sour gummies, as they may clash with the sweetness of the candy.
-
Not freezer-friendly—gummies can harden when frozen.
