A cup and a half of chopped gumdrops.

2 tablespoons of butter.
# Instructions:
01 -
Use parchment to cover the inside of an 8x8 baking pan, letting the edges hang over for easier removal later.
02 -
Slice all gumdrops in half and keep them on the side for when they're needed.
03 -
Put a heat-safe bowl on top of a pot with simmering water to make a double boiler.

In the bowl, add butter, marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
05 -
Keep stirring the ingredients until they're fully melted down into a smooth mixture.

Carefully watch the heat to make sure you're only melting, not cooking the mix.
07 -
Once smooth, take the bowl off the heat source.
08 -
Let the melted mixture cool down for about 2 minutes before continuing.
09 -
Gently mix the gumdrops into the cooled mixture until they’re spread out evenly.
10 -
Pour everything into the prepared pan.
11 -
With a piece of oiled parchment paper, press the mix evenly into the pan.
12 -
Smooth out the top using the oiled parchment to keep it from sticking.

Let everything chill for at least 2 hours in the fridge, or until it’s set.

Slice the firm nougat into about 60 small snackable squares.
15 -
Stack squares with parchment paper in between layers to store them neatly.
