Cherry Mash

Yummo, is all I have to say:). No, but really, these remind me of my childhood and are very easy to make. My 11 year old son made a batch the other night! Whip some up for your next holiday party or cookie exchange and enjoy! Merry Christmas!

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter (I used butter) or 2 tablespoons margarine
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup half-and-half or 1/3 cup undiluted evaporated milk
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup cherry chips (I only found these at Target)
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1Combine sugar, butter or margarine, salt and half and half in saucepan. Boil on high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in marshmallows and cherry chips. Spread in 8 or 9" square pan which has been lined with parchment or wax paper. Melt chocolate with peanut butter in a small pan over low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in peanuts. Spread evenly over cherry layer. Let set in refrigerator. Cut into 1" squares with warm sharp knife (hold under hot water and then dry before cutting).
