Ingredients

  • 1 16 Ounce Bag Mini Marshmallows
  • 1 ¾ Cup White Chocolate Chips
  • 1 Cup Red Gumdrops quartered
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • ¼ Teaspoon Green Oil-Based Food Coloring

Instructions

  • Quarter gumdrops before beginning. Next, line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and very lightly spray the parchment paper with nonstick cooking. Set aside.
  • Place the white chocolate chips in a medium mixing bowl. Microwave on high for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 seconds to stir the chips whether they’re melted or not to prevent burning.
  • Once the chocolate is smooth with no lumps, set aside.
  • Immediately add the marshmallows and butter to a large mixing bowl (if your butter is from a stick, make sure it’s at least in two pieces and not one large one for better melting).
  • Microwave on high for 2 minutes. Stop and stir and place back in the microwave for 30 seconds and stir until the butter is fully melted and mixed in.
  • Add the green dye to the marshmallow mixture and stir until no more color streaks appear. If you would like a bit more color, add more dye a bit at a time. Each brand is different, so ¼ teaspoon is just a starting point.
  • Add the chocolate on top of the marshmallow mixture and stir well.
  • Add ¾ of the quartered gumdrops to the mixture and fold in.
  • Microwave for 15-30 seconds, stir well.
  • Quickly pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  • Lightly press the remaining gumdrop quarters onto the top.
  • Cover and refrigerate overnight, or for about 8 hours.
  • Slice into ½-inch squares.

Notes

Oil-based food coloring is necessary for this recipe. Water-based dyes will seize the chocolate.
Moving quickly for this recipe is highly recommended. Having all your ingredients and prep finished before starting makes the process much easier.
