Ingredients
- Marshmallows (mini or large): 2 cups

- Assorted candies or nuts (e.g., jelly beans, M&M’s, or roasted almonds): 1 ½ cups
Instructions
- Prepare the pan
- Line an 8×8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal. Grease lightly to prevent sticking.
- Melt the base
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows, white chocolate chips, and butter.
- Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until completely melted and smooth. (You can also melt it on the stove over low heat in a saucepan.)
- Add the mix-ins
- Fold in your chosen candies or nuts quickly before the mixture sets. Ensure they’re evenly distributed.
- Set the bars
- Pour the nougat mixture into the prepared pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top.
- Refrigerate for 1-2 hours or until firm.
- Slice and serve
- Once set, lift the nougat out of the pan using the parchment paper. Slice into bars or squares, depending on your preference.

Tips
- Add a twist: Swap white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile.
- Storage: Keep the bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
