Nougat Candy Recipe- Steph’s Stove

Nougat Candy Recipe
Combine mini marshmallows, white chocolate chips, and butter in a large microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30-second intervals, pausing to stir mixture, until marshmallows are melted. This should take about three rotations or 90-seconds, possibly more depending on your microwave. Stir mixture to ensure all marshmallows and chocolate chips are melted, the mixture will be fluffy and thick at this point. Add dots and mix to combine. Working quickly, spread the mixture evenly in a wax paper lined 8x8 pan. Press down using plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results. Slice with a sharp knife into 1x1” sections.
Enjoy!

My sister loved these when we were kids, we would get them at the Brachs Candy Shoppe bins at the grocery store, early 90s . I think they were 10c a piece with a few coins into the attached coindbox. I would get the cherry hard candy coated gum balls, cinnamon discs, and my all time favotie butterscotch discs. Happy Groundhog Day! Early spring

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Such great memories!!! I sure do wish we could get that quality of candy again for $.10 each. Wow, those were the days!!! Thanks for watching and sharing your memories with me! Have a blessed day!!!

[@tamibell4325]

This was my favorite candy when I was young too! I miss going to the candy stores and getting this and the sour cherry balls.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

This candy and the maple nuts were my favorites from the candy counter. Such great memories! Thanks for watching and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas! 🎄

Yes! My mother went shopping once a week and she would take us to Sears along with our other stops. The candy counter was amazing.

[@Painter931]

This recipe totally worked. Candy is delicious. Its one of my favorites. I remember Sears candy counter. When i cut my pieces of candy I took a tiny bit of cornstarch on my hands and brushed over candy so no sticking. I keep candy in cover container in refrigerator i like the candy cold it makes the gummies taste better. I dont taste cornstarch at all because its just a small amount but it works. Thanks for recipe. I will always have this candy to enjoy. I noticed some old school candy cost alot online.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

I’m so glad you enjoyed the video! 😊 The red and green gummy pieces are perfect for Christmas. Also, the cornstarch dusting in each piece is a great idea. Thanks for watching, have a blessed evening, and enjoy the delicious candy. ☺️ Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

[@thomasaccuntius9946]

I really like your stories, and I have 2 that yours brought up in my memory. You leaving they candy on your furniture and it left a mark. I was probably 12 and was making popcorn with our popper which had a hand crank on the stove. Before I started mom told me NOT to set the hot popper on her new plastic tablecloth on the kitchen table. You guessed it, I did and it left a10" brown spot on it, she was mad. In the fall of 1976 I was 21 and working at a Sears store in Dayton Ohio. They had a candy counter, and sometimes durring my break I would go and buy just 4-5 pieces of this candy and eat it with my coffee. This brought back memories, thank you.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

I think I would have ate my weight in candy if I worked at that candy counter. Every day would have been full of samples! 🤗 Thanks for watching and sharing your story too! Have a blessed day!

[@elementarystemwithms.crosm5345]

I remember that candy! Our Sears didn't have a candy counter, but our local grocery store sold Brach's candies by the pound. When my mom would let me buy some as a treat, I always put a lot of the nougats in there because they were my favorite. When you started talking about the French Provincial furniture set, I immediately looked up. I'm 51 and still have the set in my bedroom. My parents bought it at a lawn sale for a steal when I was a tween. It's quite chipped around the edges from lots of use, but still in great condition.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Wow! I wish I still had mine. 🥲 It had a canopy and was just beautiful. Perfect for a little girl. As I got older (a teen) I removed the canopy and just had it as a 4-poster bed. Still beautiful! I received it for my 5th birthday- the dresser,mirror, bed, nightstand, and tall chest. I felt like a big girl. OH, did I get in trouble when I had that candy in my room. I took a bite and put the other piece on the dresser. Big mistake! Bigger punishment!!! I loved the candy 🍬 and the furniture. Both have such great memories. Isn’t it great, the little things so many of us have in common. 😊 Thanks so much for watching! Your post blessed me today and I hope you have a blessed weekend as well!!!

Ohhh, my husband is going to faint from envy when I tell him one could get BOXES of the now-defunct New England Candy Co Necco wafers - his all time fave candy. When production stopped, before the equipment & recipe was sold and necco was reborn, he hoarded rolls of neccos in early pandemic. 😂 Thank the Lord they were brought back into production!!

​@@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249 exactly ... we didn't have consumption fatigue from there always being so much of everything. It's so hard to find anything special like that for & with our grands ... they've always had so much of everything and few rules. Thankful that what kids really appreciate most is time and attention - *that* we can give! Thanks for an opportunity for nostalgia - I can literally smell again the scent of candy & nuts and butter walking into sears. And savoring that precious bite of candy. (Though I also got in trouble the Christmas I was seven for sneaking behind TV and stashing Sees Coffee Candies back in open bottom of TV cabinet 😂 pretty enterprising of me, I think! The dog, and English setter, gave me up lol. Hope your Christmas was lovely and you have a great 2024

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Store them in an airtight container in the fridge. However, if you stack the candy you will need to separate the stacks with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together. You can also toss each piece with powdered sugar to help prevent sticking. Great question! Have a blessed day!!!

I grew up on west coast and have same memories: Sears trip, the Brach's candy counter, and of gosh THE ENVY I had over that French Provincial furniture!! My two best friends had it. But I shared a BR with my much older sister and she chose the decor - and as a 16 yr old in early 70s, her taste was a bit more rock-n-roll lol. Funny how much memory floods in from a recipe for candy ... I can still hear the cellophane wrapper crinkling upon opening, hoe it made the candy piled up on candy counter gleam & almost sparkle. That was some genius marketing by Brachs!! Happy New Year, thx for memories

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

@celestewatson4874 As I read your comment I can picture every word. 😊 The sound of the wrapping and seeing that cellophane type wrapping piled up…what great memories.

I remember the Sears candy counters as well, though I don't remember this candy. I was more drawn to the chocolate stars and the chocolate drops that had the 'white stuff' inside. Watching your video made me wonder what else I could use this for (without the Dots). I am considering cutting into fingers, rolling in peanuts or pecans, and dipping in chocolate. And now I'm wondering what the mixture would be like with milk chocolate and the marshmallows. I suppose it would be very much like the fudge which is made from chocolate chips and marshmallow creme. Anyway, great video. I've subscribed to your channel for more creative ideas.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed weekend!!

[@lindabarling7719]

Ya, we always made the nougat...but, these days, it's just me. I really do need eight extra hands. Got ta try it, though. Only alot less. And on the stove top. I don't like microwaving plastic-ware.😂thanks for sharing😊

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and your comment. Have a blessed evening and enjoy the candy!!! 😊

[@jgg7377]

Love these, they were and still are one of my favorite candles. I didn’t know they were so easy to make. I have seen the dollar store selling the dots. I’m sure there are many more other jelly type things you can use. Wondering if you could use life saver gummy’s. I would try a very small amount once the nugget cooled a bit. They sell the nugget bars at TJ Max for like $6.99. But it is a pretty big bar that you could cut into individual pieces lol

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

These are one of my favorites too! 😊Yes, Dots can be found at most stores or any gummy candy would work. Life Saver gummies would work, but you would need to cut them in fourths. Also, I had another viewer comment that she used Sour Patch Kids and it was delicious. It would be fun to experiment with different ones to find what you liked best. As for the version at TJ Maxx…it is most likely loaded with preservatives and not as good as fresh. ~ Just my opinion. 😉 Thanks for watching and your comment. Have a blessed holiday weekend and a very Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

[@carrieferguson1493]

Oh, is that what you call that soft white candy bar with red & green things in it?! I never knew the name but I loved them as a kid in the '60 & '70's. Funny, I think abt them a lot but haven't bought one in over 40 yrs. Don't see them that often! Thanks for this!

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

They seem to be one of those old candies that are fading away. Such a shame because the old ones are so good! I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed these too; they were one of my favorites growing up. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed day!!!

[@debbiepeppers6446]

The chocholate was delicious

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

This is one of my favorite ways to eat white chocolate. 😊Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed weekend and a Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

[@user-qy4zh5vf3g]

BROCK MADE IT SEPARATED IN CLEAR PLACTIC.U BOUGHT AS MANY AS U WANTED PUT INTO CANDY BAG. .MY DAUGHTER LOVED THEM.SHE 35 AND STILL TALKS ABOUT IT.IVE NOT SEEN THESE IN YEARS.ONLY SOME STORES HAD THE CANDY STAND.WITH DIFFERENT KIND S OF CANDY

[@user-ok7zo6dm7i]

After you cut them into pieces do you have to wrap them with parchment paper ?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

No, you don’t have to. However, you can wrap them individually if you like. I generally store them in an airtight container stacked with parchment paper separating each layer. Depending upon the size of the container, you can stack two - three layers. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed day!!!

[@amom2go101]

Any suggestions for the best way to store these? Do you have to refrigerate them or do they do okay in a sealed container on the counter do you have to dust them with cornstarch or anything so that they don't stick together

[@denisedspain7991]

I think I would melt the candy melts first then the marshmallows in a separate bowl then combine them. The chips will be harder to melt.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

That would work too. Thanks for watching and your comment. Have a blessed day and enjoy the candy!!! 😊

[@maryrotz2636]

Do you think this candy would be good if you rolled it in powder sugar or would that just be gilding the lilly, so to speak?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Yes, you can lightly toss them in powdered sugar and it would work well. Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed day!!!

[@Davis-carmencita]

If you don't have parchment paper would you recommend using the plastic silicone mold dish

[@ladysmith3578]

That nougat candy by Brach’s was my favorite. I have to try this and if it’s even close I will love you forever 😂❤❤❤❤I must say that my boys weren’t allowed to eat anywhere except the kitchen. So had I found candy or anything in their room they would have been spanked and I wouldn’t have let the candy there. As a matter of fact they wouldn’t have got that candy again for quite sometime.. I made sure my boys understood the rules and the consequences. 😊

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

I’m 100% sure there were disciplinary actions for the candy in my room!!! It most like came from Mom and then Dad when he got home; a double whammy!!! My mother also did not allow eating outside the kitchen table. Thanks for watching and your comment. It sounds like your house was the same one I was raised in. 🤭 I can’t wait to hear back from you after you try the recipe. Thanks again for watching and I hope you have a blessed day!!! ☺️

[@ladysmith3578]

@@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249 I’ll be going to the store in the morning to get everything I need.. I will definitely let you know and I will share this recipe with my son.. and everyone else that I know that loves this candy.. You know being raised like we were was a blessing… we didn’t think so at the time but look at you now.. looks like someone did a wonderful job raising you.

[@celestewatson4874]

​@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249 ohmygosh, NO ONE allowed their kids to eat even a foot from the table back then. We had black ants like *crazy* in Southern CA, and I swear my mom would have skinned us if we'd walked out of dining area with food. All our Easter candy was ruined by ants one Easter when "the bunny" set it up night before as she came off a shift (nurse). Full of ants by 7am. She was SO upset. Poor mom.

[@ladysmith3578]

@@celestewatson4874 Parents were parents back then. They didn’t need a reason to have a rule (ants). They made rules and we followed them or suffered the consequences (a spanking or grounding) . If it were that way today we’d live in a better society. I’m sorry about your candy. 🥹

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Oh no!😥 Sugar ants are terrible! I know that was probably as hard for your mom as it was for you. After all her hard work and then your disappointment too. 🥲🥲🥲

[@gholmes2593]

In the 50's it was the same fruit cut up that you used for Christmas cake. Not gummy candy.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Interesting 🤔 I remember more of a gummy type of candy in the Brocks candies during the 70s. However, I can see how the candied fruit would work too. Great food history!!! Thanks for watching and your comment. I hope you have a blessed day!!!

[@creatcherjones5302]

Right

[@Pinkkermit17]

I just leave the candy whole when you cut up the candy a lot of them get cut up anyway. I love the different flavors in it. I wish I can find Cinnamon dots,, that would be so good !

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Leaving them whole would be easier I just like having the smaller pieces. As for the cinnamon dots…that would be wonderful! Thanks for watching and your comment. Have a blessed evening and a Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

[@kaytorrence8870]

Hello can't remember if I asked already but what is the best way to store this I just made some for myself

[@saberhawks4074]

Does it have to use the white chocolate chips? What about using chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut butter chips?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

I have not used the other types of chips in this recipe; however, it would be worth a try. That’s the fun part of a recipe, you can “play” with it and make it your own. It’s the artistic side of cooking. Please let me know if you do make it with one of the chips you mentioned and your results. I would be interested to hear from you. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed day!!! 😊

[@shirleyzimmerman5024]

You’re a very aggressive stirrer … but I’m going to try these

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Sorry…I get excited when I’m cooking. 😊 So glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed day! 😊

[@lifehappens587]

Spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray, and place in the pan first … I roll it up in a ball fist, because that will make it easier to put it in the pan

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Yes, you are right spraying the pan does work best! Normally, I do things like this; however, I just got ahead of myself when I was filming the video. The “overall” content was good and published anyway. Sometimes I get to cooking/baking and forget I’m recording. 😂 I may need to re-record this and include some best practices. Thanks for watching and your comment! Also, I appreciate your previous comment too! 😊 Have a blessed weekend and a very Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

[@Love.Yourself.1976]

Could you replace the DOTS with cherries ?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Absolutely! Dried cherries 🍒 would be amazing!!! Feel free to experiment and have fun with different flavors. That’s the great thing about cooking, it doesn’t have to be the exact same every time. Be creative and have fun! Thanks is for watching and your question! Have a blessed evening!!!

[@SuziQ1207]

Would this be similar to divinity? Can I leave the gummies out?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

No, I would not say this is similar to divinity. The nougat has a much different consistency which is slightly chewy while divinity has a light and airy consistency. As for the gummy candy, I guess you could leave them out but the candy would not be the same. The colorful candy gummies are what make this nought special. ☺️ Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed evening!!! 😊

[@leeojascastro711]

Could I use Swedish fish instead of dots?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

I’m sure you could since they are also a “gummy” type candy. Please let me know how they turn out. Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed day and a Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

[@Stormystormy]

I want to advise you that heating plastic in any way will emit unhealthy particles so please do not use plastic bowls for heating ingredients of any kind. Just trying to help.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

Thank you for your helpful advice!

[@arleneclark6369]

Emit , not omit.

[@Stormystormy]

@@arleneclark6369 thanks

[@lifehappens587]

Omit your rude remark 🙄

[@kassandralevingston9874]

I think about that every time I heat my food in plastic. I know they say it’s wrong but they don’t do my dishes. 😊

[@terinaaroni65]

you should of sprayed that with pam or butter or something so it doesnt stick

[@galderseweg]

Thank you for the effort and recipe, howrver nougat is made on a stove with honey, sugar, and eggwhite. Not microwaving marshmellows😅

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

This is a quick and easy recipe that I love making. If you would like to share your recipe I will make it and compare. Thanks for watching and your comment. Have a blessed evening and a Merry Christmas! 🎄

[@secretshopper3195]

Could you dust it slightly with confectioners sugar slightly to make it less sticky?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

That would work or you could use a very light dusting of cornstarch. Just be sure to shake all of the excess off. Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed day!!!

[@AvisBrown-uw8qs]

I was just going to look for a nougat recipe. Instead of dots, I'm going to use swedish fish.

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

You can use any gummy candy and they will work well. The Swedish fish will be perfect. Thanks for watching and your comment. Have a blessed day! 😊

[@moniquehebert178]

Does anybody have the original good recipe, or are they all this white chocolate one?

[@lorettakeiser1672]

Can you use marshmallow cream

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

I don’t think that the marshmallow cream would setup the same. Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed evening and a happy New Year!!! 🎆

[@user-ci7zq3le4p]

Steph do you think I could substitute white chocolate chips with Wilton Candy Cane Candy Melts?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

I have not tried to substitute candy melts for white chocolate chips. Therefore, I can’t say if it would come out the same. The main difference in the two is white chocolate contains cocoa butter and candy melts usually contain palm oils. They melt differently. If you try it, let me know how it turns out. Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed evening and a Merry Christmas!!! 🎄

[@moniquehebert178]

I wonder if you could use marshmallow fluff instead of marshmallows?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

[@Esteramisu57]

Can you substitute marshmallow crème instead of marshmallow?

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

For this recipe I do not think marshmallow crème would setup the same as marshmallows. The candy may not come out the same consistency. Thanks for watching and your question. Have a blessed evening!

[@debo4706]

A glass bowl would be better sugar in plastic is not good .

[@Gently225]

That's a lot of work for microwave baking

[@stephsstovebystephaniethom7249]

The microwave just covers the melting portion. However, the candy does need time to “set up” and create the final product. Thanks for watching and I hope you have a blessed day!!!

[@caringjan4440]

The recipe looks so good! Every one on the planet has plastic in their bodies thx to the d u pnots.

[@marlenejones6266]

Ummm. If u needed 20 ounces and you have a 24 ounce bag just remove 4 ounces which is the half cup measuring cup. You dont have enough white chocolate in your recipe. And yuck this not by any means what i got as a child
