Tasty Tuesday - Bing Candy Bars

Clearly I have been lacking in my Tasty Tuesday recipes! Since we have been having such great weather, I've been outside a lot with the kids and also am trying to stick to my new year's resolution to lose the rest of my pregnancy weight, so I haven't been doing too much baking. Last week I gave in, however, and made this recipe that I loved as a kid and have finally found some cherry chips to make it again. Probably not the best thing to make if you really want to stick to your diet though. After eating half the pan mostly by myself, I finally had to pack up the rest and give them away so I would eat the whole thing! They are so good! I haven't been able to find cherry chips in our local grocery stores, so I ordered some from Amazon.com, they are worth it!

Bing Candy Bars

2 cups sugar
2/3 cup evaporated milk
12 large marshmallows
1/2 cup butter
Dash of salt
1 (6 oz) pkg. of cherry chips
1 tsp vanilla
1 (12 oz) pkg chocolate chips
3/4 cup peanut butter
1 large pkg. salted peanuts, crushed

Mix the sugar, milk, marshmallows, butter, and salt. Boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat, add the cherry chips, vanilla, and pour into 9x13 pan and cool.
Melt in double boiler the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and peanuts. Spread over chilled cherry mix and chill several hours.
