This recipe is more like candy and tastes so close to a Cherry Mountain Bar that I couldn't believe it. My husband loved them. Cheryl
2 c sugar
2/3 c evaporated milk
Dash of salt
12 regular marshmallows
1/2 c butter
1 pkg (6 oz.) cherry chips (If you can't find these, substitute the same amount of white almond bark, 1 t cherry extract and red food coloring to desired color)
1 t vanilla (Omit this if cherry extract was used)
1 pkg. (12 oz.) semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 c peanut butter
1 c crushed salted peanuts
Combine sugar, milk, salt, marshmallows, and margarine in saucepan over medium heat. Boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add cherry chips and vanilla. Pour into buttered 9x13 inch pan. Melt chocolate chips in double boiler; add peanut butter and crushed peanuts. Spread over cherry mixture and chill. Very easy!
Note: I used the cherry chips that I ordered from the Bakers Catalogue.
