Cherry Mash Bars

This has become a favorite of my brother-in-law at Christmas time.

1 cup sugar
2 tbsp butter
1/4 tsp. salt
1/3 cup half and half or 1/3 cup undiluted evaporate milk
1 cup miniature marshmallows
1 cup cherry chips
1 cup chocolate chips or 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup salted peanuts

Combine sugar, butter, salt and half and half in a saucepan. Boil on high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in marshmallows and cherry chips.
Spread in 8 or 9 in. 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 in squares with warm sharp knife (hold under hot water and then dry before cutting).

Ingredients: sugar, butter, salt, half and half, marshmallows, cherry chips, chocolate chips, peanut butter, peanuts
