These ultra sweet bars are always a year-round request, even though I usually only make them at Christmas time. They are very easy to make, and quick! If cherry chips aren't available in your area, butterscotch chips can be substituted.

CHERRY MASH BARS RECIPE



Cherry Mash Bars Recipe image

Provided by luv2ropenride

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter (I used butter) or 2 tablespoons margarine (I used butter)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup half-and-half (I used 1/2 and 1/2 mixed with whole milk) or 1/3 cup undiluted evaporated milk (I used 1/2 and 1/2 mixed with whole milk)
1 cup miniature marshmallow
1 cup cherry chips
1 cup chocolate chips (I used Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate about 3 1/2 ounces) or 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate (I used Ghirardelli Bittersweet Chocolate about 3 1/2 ounces)
1/2 cup peanut butter
1 cup salted peanuts

Steps:

  • 1 Combine sugar, butter or margarine, salt and half and half in saucepan. Boil on high heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in marshmallows and cherry chips. 2 Spread in 8 or 9" square pan which has been lined with parchment or wax paper. 3 Melt chocolate with peanut butter in a small pan over low heat, stirring occasionally. 4 Stir in peanuts. Spread evenly over cherry layer. 5 Let set in refrigerator. Cut into 1" squares with warm sharp knife (hold under hot water and then dry before cutting).

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
  • If you don't have a 9x13 inch baking pan, you can use two 8x8 inch pans. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • To make sure the bars are set, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the bars are done.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape.
  • Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Cherry Mash Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a simple combination of oats, butter, sugar, eggs, flour, and dried cherries. The bars are then topped with a creamy chocolate ganache. Cherry Mash Bars are a great way to use up leftover cherries, and they are also a popular treat for potlucks and bake sales.
