Ingredients:
- 18 ounces white chocolate chips
- 16 ounces mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cups Dots Fruity Candy
Instructions:
1 ) Line a 9 x 13 pan with wax or parchment paper. To prevent sticking, give it a quick spray with nonstick spray.
2 ) In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the mini marshmallows, white chocolate chips, and butter.
3 ) Microwave the mixture for 90 seconds. At the 45-second mark, pause to stir and continue microwaving.
4 ) After an additional 30 seconds (pausing to stir again at the 15-second mark), your concoction should be fluffy, thick, and oh-so-creamy.
5 ) Stir in 2 cups of Dots Fruity Candy into the mix. Let the colors and flavors blend harmoniously.
6 ) Working swiftly, transfer the nougat mixture onto the lined pan. Be prepared for some delightful messiness – it’s all part of the fun!
7 ) Use clean, nonstick-sprayed hands to spread the mixture evenly and ensure a smooth finish.
8 ) Pop the pan into the refrigerator for a minimum of 6 hours or until set. If you’re in a hurry, the freezer can work its magic in about 2 hours.
9 ) When it’s time to indulge, remove the cold nougat from the pan. Place it on a cutting board.
Spray a knife with nonstick baking spray and cut the nougat into 1-1/2 inch cubes. These squares can be sticky, so store them in the refrigerator or freezer between coated wax or parchment paper.

Tips for Candy Crafting Success:
- Never attempt this candy creation without reliable nonstick paper like wax or parchment.
- Coat your paper with nonstick spray or a thin layer of shortening for easier peeling.
Chill Before Peel:
- Place the nougat in the freezer before attempting to peel off the paper. Cold candy is your friend in this sticky situation.
Paper Troubles? Slice It Off! - If your paper insists on sticking, don’t hesitate to slice off a thin layer with the paper and discard it.
