GUMDROP NOUGAT CHEWY CANDIES
Hi and Welcome to our website!
If you are looking to learn how to make GUMDROP NOUGAT CHEWY CANDIES or any type of these just take a few minutes and watch our short video tutorial. I have three different types of candy nougats, one with dark chocolate with walnuts, light milk chocolate with gumdrops, white chocolate with gumdrops. They are all very tasty and hard to have only one.
I hope you are following along and still is excited about making these delicious little candies, remember these can be made with white or dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chucks, and mini or large marshmallows. They also can be microwaved for 30 seconds to 1 minute for quick melting and mix fast, then scoop into your pan with parchment or wax paper.
I hope you are enjoying our recipe so far and is excited about making it, not a lot of steps and ingredients.

Ingredients
- Butter or margarine - 1 or 2 tbsp
- White or Dark chocolate chips - 1 pack or more
- Mini or large marshmallows - 1 pack or more
- Gumdrops - 1 or 1 1/2 cups, candy or baking gumdrops
Instructions
- Put a piece of parchment in a 6 x 8 pan of choice (bigger pan if you double this recipe)
- Cut the gumdrops quarters or whole, depending on the type of gumdrops you are using.
- In a saucepan with water quarter ways up and heatproof glass bowl on top saucepan, start warming water low heat, add butter, white or dark chocolate chips and marshmallows together over indirect heat. (making sure that the bowl and pan fit together nice and be careful of the steam releasing from the sides, you don't want to burn your arms. )
- Make sure that the mixture doesn’t burn only melt, stirring occasionally.
- Continue stirring your mixture until it is smooth and all melted together, don’t cook the mixture just melt.
- Remove from heat place on a cork or towel on the counter top.
- Let cool for about 1 minutes or so, still stirring and keeping the mixture moving.
- Fold in the gumdrops, or whatever you are using at this stage, nuts, candies, more chocolate chucks, mix well.
- Pour or scoop the mixture into the pan with parchment paper.
- Then spread mixture out evenly its very sticky and you have to be quick at this stage before it starts to set.
- Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting or overnight is best.
- Cut into bite sized pieces or whatever size you wish.
- Store the candies in fridge in a bottle or container until ready to eat them, use parchment paper between layers so the candies don’t stick together or make candy wrappers from parchment paper and twisting the ends. WATCH VIDEO FOR MORE DETAILS!
I hope you are interested in making these delicious little GUMDROP NOUGAT CHEWY CANDIES only a few simple steps and they are so tasty. These would make lovely gifts for the sweet tooth in your family or a gift exchange at work or school. I like wrapping them separate to give that store bought look to them and for cleanness and storage, keeping them from touching helps to better access them when you like one.
