Description

Grandma’s Christmas Candy is a festive and easy-to-make treat featuring a smooth blend of melted white chocolate, marshmallows, and colorful red and green candies. Perfect for holiday gatherings, this no-bake candy offers a delightful combination of creamy sweetness and chewy texture that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
  • 1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup red and green gumdrops or chewy candy, chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Dish: Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and lightly grease it. Set aside to ensure the candy doesn’t stick during setting.
  2. Melt Ingredients: In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter, white chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows. Microwave for 1 minute, then stir using a spatula greased with butter or cooking spray. Continue microwaving in 30-second increments, stirring after each, until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Cool Mixture: Allow the melted mixture to cool for about 1 minute to prevent the candies from melting or losing color when added.
  4. Fold in Candies: Gently fold the chopped red and green gumdrops or chewy candies into the melted mixture, mixing evenly without breaking the candy pieces.
  5. Set Candy: Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to press and spread it evenly into a flat layer.
  6. Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to let the candy set firmly.
  7. Slice and Store: Once set, lift the candy out using the parchment paper. Remove the paper and slice the candy into small bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Be careful not to overheat the marshmallows and white chocolate to avoid burning.
  • Use a greased spatula to stir the melted mixture easily and prevent sticking.
  • Chilling overnight improves the texture and makes cutting easier.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer shelf life.
  • You can substitute gumdrops with other colorful chewy candies or dried fruits as desired.
