I never did understand that as I was growing up. When I got older, I started making this treat myself and although I do not understand why it was an adult only treat, I understand why they kept it all to themselves.
Ingredients
2 packages of miniature marshmallows
2 tbsp butter, melted
2 packages of white chocolate chips
1 ½ cups red and green gumdrops
FIRST STEP:
Cut the gum drops in half
Layer a baking dish with parchment paper, be sure there is enough paper hanging over the sides
Bring a pot of water to a boil on the stove
SECOND STEP:
Place a heat proof bowl or another pan over the first pot with the water
To the top dish add in the miniature marshmallows, the white chocolate chips and the butter
Melt the ingredients in the pan, over( or rather like a double boiler)
Stir until all is melted
THIRD STEP:
Gently fold in the gumdrops
Pour into the baking dish with the parchment paper
Let rest overnight so the nougat sets
Lift out of the baking dish using the parchment paper, cut into bars
Enjoy!
