2. Introduction: A Retro Holiday Classic
Four-Ingredient Nougat Bars are a staple of holiday baking trays because they offer a vibrant, stained-glass appearance with minimal effort. This recipe bypasses the need for candy thermometers or complex egg-white whipping, instead relying on the combination of white chocolate and marshmallows to create a soft, fudge-like nougat texture.
3. Detailed Ingredients
-
The Body: 2 bags (approx. 24 oz) of white chocolate chips or white almond bark.
-
The Texture: 1 bag (10 oz) of mini marshmallows, which provide the chewiness.
-
The Color: 2 cups of gumdrops (baking gumdrops or dots), chopped into small pieces if they are large.
-
The Binder: 2 tablespoons of butter, which adds a silky mouthfeel and helps the nougat set.
