Ingredients you will need

Butter: 2 tablespoons, melted
White chocolate chunks: 2 packs (around 12 ounces each)
Red and green candy pieces: 1 and a half cups
Instructions in a series of steps.
Step 1: Get your ingredients ready.
Get the ingredients: Begin by collecting all the items you need and making sure the marshmallows, white chocolate, and candy pieces are measured and prepared for use.
Melt the butter: In a bowl that can go in the microwave, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. You can melt it in the microwave by heating it for 20 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until completely melted.
Step 2: Heat the white chocolate and marshmallows until they are melted.
Mix together the marshmallows and melted butter in a big microwave-safe bowl. Mix the marshmallows well with the butter.
Melt the mix: Heat the marshmallow and butter mix in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each time, until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
Include white chocolate: Slowly mix the white chocolate chunks into the melted marshmallow mixture. Keep heating in the microwave for 15 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is completely melted and mixed with the marshmallow mixture.
Step 3: Add the candy drops and mix them in.
Add the red and green candy drops to the smooth marshmallow and white chocolate mixture by gently mixing them in. Mix until the pieces of candy are spread evenly in the mixture.
Get the bread ready. Cover the inside of a square or rectangular baking pan with parchment paper, making sure to leave some extra hanging over the edges for easy removal later on. Put a small amount of butter or non-stick spray on the parchment paper.
Step 4: Place and slice the nougat bars.
Move the mix: Pour the nougat mix into the baking pan that has been prepared. Use a spatula to spread it smoothly and press it gently to make sure it is the same thickness in the whole pan.
Cool the nougat: Put the pan in the fridge and let the nougat bars cool for at least 2 hours or until they are solid when touched.
Cut the nougat into bars after it has hardened, and take it out of the pan by using the parchment paper that sticks out. Put it on a cutting board and use a sharp knife to slice it into bars or squares.
