Jelly Nougat Candy: A Nostalgic Treat Made Simple


  • Author: recipes
  • Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to create this delightful treat:

  1. White Chocolate Chips (2 cups): The creamy, sweet base for your nougat.
  2. Unsalted Butter (2 tablespoons): Adds richness and smoothness to the mixture.
  3. Mini Marshmallows (1 package, 10 oz): The key to the nougat’s chewy texture.

Tools for Making Jelly Nougat Candy

Gather these tools before you start:

  • Microwave-Safe Bowl: For melting the ingredients.
  • Mixing Spoon or Spatula: To combine the melted ingredients.
  • Greased or Parchment-Lined Baking Dish: For easy removal of the nougat once it sets.
  • Sharp Knife: For cutting the candy into squares.

Instructions

1. Melt the Base

Place the white chocolate chips and unsalted butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each session, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat, as white chocolate can scorch easily.

2. Incorporate the Marshmallows

Add the mini marshmallows to the melted mixture. Stir briskly to ensure all the marshmallows are evenly coated and combined. The mixture will begin to cool and thicken quickly, so work efficiently.

3. Pour and Spread

Transfer the mixture into a greased or parchment-lined baking dish. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly, pressing down gently to smooth the surface.

4. Cool and Cut

Let the candy cool completely. For faster results, place it in the refrigerator. Once set, use a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized squares.
