Cin's Notes:
I love making this candy...it is always a hit with everyone young and old alike.

The candy was easy to make and was sooooo yummmy.

My "1" pic of the candy is from when I made it in 2009, and featured as the main photo.

There have been others who added their photos on here (and that is great).
 
Comments from the Test Kitchen:
Pretty and delicious... what a combo! Brighten up your candy bowl with this lovely dish.
 

Directions

1
Combine butter or margarine, sugar, milk, salt and marshmallows in saucepan.
Bring to a boil then boil for 5 minutes.
2
Remove from heat and stir in cherry chips and vanilla.
* Pour into a buttered 9 x 13 baking dish and chill for 2 hours.
3
In a double boiler, melt chocolate chips. Add peanut butter and crushed peanuts. Stir until well blended.
Spread evenly over the cherry layer. Chill until firm enough to cut into bite size pieces.
4
* I line the 9 x 13 baking dish with aluminum foil (butter the foil) so that I could lift the candy out of pan when set, that way it would be easier to cut into squares.
5
Lot and Lots of you have asked what is a "Cherry Chip"....yes, it's just like buying a bag of Chocolate, Butterscotch, Peanutbutter...etc. Chips.

I use Log House premium quality CHERRY flavored Baking Morsels.

There is a photo above by Karla showing the cherry chips in a bag...=;D
6
NOTE: If you want your candy squares thick like this pic, then make it in a 8x9-inch pan (instead of a 9x13...you get more pieces using the larger pan, but the squares won't be as thick).
7
and above is a pic of...the original 'CHERRY MASH' candy bar
8
Kim's photo's above, without putting in the crushed NUTS...made a beautiful "fudge".

She also has a photo above when she remade it and put the nuts in...beautiful.
9
and...WHEN I USE SPLENDA, to make this candy, I USE Hershey's Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips.
