How to Make Cherry Mash Candy
- In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine 2 cups sugar, 1/2 cup milk, 10 oz marshmallows, 1/2 cup butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir constantly until smooth.
- Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups cherry chips and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until melted and well combined.
- Grease a 9x13 inch baking pan with butter or cooking spray. Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the cherry layer is completely set and firm.
- While the cherry layer chills, melt 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1/4 cup peanut butter in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt over low heat in a double boiler or saucepan.
- Once the cherry layer is firm, pour the melted chocolate mixture evenly over the top.
- Spread the chocolate evenly using a spatula or knife.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely set.
- Cut into squares and enjoy your delicious homemade Cherry Mash Candy!
