  • 1 Mixing bowl
  • 1 Spatula
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 microwave-safe bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup evaporated milk
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 jar 7 oz marshmallow creme
  • 1 package 10 oz cherry chips
  • 1 package 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 cups salted peanuts chopped

Instructions
 

  • Line a 9x13 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

  • Boil for 3 minutes and remove from heat.
  • Stir in marshmallow creme and cherry chips until well combined.
  • Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and peanut butter together in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the cherry layer and spread evenly.

  • Let the bars cool at room temperature for 15 minutes before refrigerating for 1 hour.

Notes

For best results, ensure all ingredients are at room temperature before beginning to cook. If the chocolate mixture is too thick, you can add a teaspoon of coconut oil to help it spread more easily. Additionally, using parchment paper will make it easier to remove the bars from the dish and achieve clean cuts. Enjoy your Cherry Mash Bars, perfect for any dessert occasion!
