Step 2: Melt the Base
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and peanut butter.
- Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- This forms the rich, creamy base of your nougat.
Step 3: Add the Marshmallows
- Quickly fold in the mini marshmallows while the mixture is still warm.
- The marshmallows will soften slightly but still hold their shape, giving the bars that signature chewy nougat bite.
Step 4: Mix in the Candy
- Gently stir in the candy-coated chocolates.
- Be careful not to overmix, or the colors may bleed into the nougat.
Step 5: Spread and Chill
- Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan.
- Use a spatula to press it evenly into the dish.
- Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or until the bars are firm enough to cut.
Step 6: Slice and Serve
- Once set, lift the nougat block out using the parchment paper.
- Cut into squares or bars with a sharp knife.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Tips for the Best Nougat Bars
- Add a festive twist: Use holiday-colored candies (red and green for Christmas, pastel for Easter, etc.).
- Try different flavors: Swap peanut butter with almond butter or Nutella for a new taste.
- For extra crunch: Add chopped nuts like almonds, cashews, or peanuts.
