CHERRY MASH BARS



Cherry Mash Bars image

This recipe makes delicious little fudge squares that would be excellent on a holiday cookie tray. They are SWEET but really flavorful. Perfect as small squares. If you like Chocolate and Cherries this recipe is for you. The candy bar was originally called Cherry Chase, and then Cherry Chaser, before becoming known as Cherry Mash. It can be found throughout the Midwest in most grocery and convenience stores and mass-merchandise outlets. I made them with pecans b/c I did not have peanuts and they were still delicious. I found the cherry chips at our Super Walmart next to the chocolate chips.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Make sure the cherries are pitted before using them. You can use a cherry pitter to make this task easier.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the bars tough.
  • Bake the bars until they are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting them into squares. This will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the bars with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.

Conclusion:

Gurley's Sweet Cherry Mash Bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for any occasion, from potlucks to picnics to holiday gatherings. The bars are made with fresh cherries, cream cheese, sugar, butter, and flour. They are then topped with a sweet cherry glaze. The bars are moist, chewy, and have a wonderful cherry flavor.
