These Gumdrop Nougat Candies taste like nostalgia and Christmas’ past. And I love them. They’re sweet, soft, chewy and so delicious. And very easy to make. Create a batch and share them with friends, give them as gifts, and make sure to have them on your holiday treat plate!

How To Make Grandma’s Christmas Candy
- Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease. Set aside.
- Add butter, white chocolate chips, and marshmallows to a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Stir contents with a greased spatula then continue microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring in between, until mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Allow mixture to cool for about 1 minute then fold in the colored candies.
- Transfer mixture to the prepared baking dish and use spatula to press into a flat and even layer.
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in fridge for a minimum of 4 hours or up to overnight.
- Lift candy out of the dish using the parchment paper. Remove paper and slice into small bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container for best results.
