Cherry Mash Candy

Some of us grew up with a gooey pink candy called Cherry Mash. It is hard to find these days, but a friend pointed me to a recipe to make it at home. YUM! Thank you Julie!

Cherry Mash Candy

2 c. sugar
2/3 c. evaporated milk
1/8 tsp salt
12 large marshmallows
1/2 c. margarine
6 oz pkg cherry chips
1 tsp vanilla
12 oz pkg semi sweet chocolate chips
3/4 c. peanut butter
1 pkg salted peanuts, crushed

Combine sugar, milk, salt, marshmallows, and margarine in saucepan over
medium heat.  Boil 5 minutes.

Remove from heat.  Stir in cherry chips and vanilla.  Pour into buttered
9x13 pan.  Let cool.  Melt chocolate chips in double boiler.

Stir in peanut butter and crushed peanuts.  Spread over cooled cherry
mixture.  Cool.
