- Prepare a pan:
Line an 8×8-inch square pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang on the sides. - Melt the base:
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and condensed milk.
Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time, until fully melted and smooth. - Add marshmallows & flavor:
Stir in mini marshmallows, vanilla extract, and salt. The residual heat will soften the marshmallows—stir until mostly melted (a few puffs remaining is perfect for texture!). - Mix in fruits and nuts:
Fold in your chopped dried fruits and roasted nuts until everything is well coated. - Press & chill:
Transfer the mixture into your prepared pan. Use a spatula (or your hands with parchment paper) to press it evenly and firmly. - Chill to set:
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until fully firm. - Slice and enjoy:
Remove from the pan and cut into squares or bars with a sharp knife. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
Tips:
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- Customize it with matcha powder, freeze-dried berries, coconut flakes, or even mini chocolate chips!
- For a firmer nougat, reduce the marshmallows by ¼ cup.
