CIN MADE ''CHERRY MASH''

• 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.

• 10. ADDING A NOTE FROM CARY BOWERS: For those of us that can't find the Cherry Chips in the local grocery store. Trust me I went to every one here in my area. There is a way you can still make this awesome candy with out them. I went to my local Walmart store in the isle with spices and extracts look for Watkins Cherry extract. I used the white chocolate chips and then added four capfulls' of the extract and red food coloring if that is important to you. You can also add the flavoring to taste. I will post a picture of it when I am done. The Cherry part is chilling now then on to the top ;) This has been a fave of my husband and I have loved this since we were kids.

OLD FASHIONED CHERRY MASH CHOCOLATES

Steps:

• Put the mini muffin paper liners in a mini muffin pan and set aside.
• Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and set aside.
• In a small bowl combine the soften butter and powdered sugar, using a hand mixer beat it until it starts to stick together, it will be clumpy, add in the chopped maraschino cherries (make sure you patted them as dry as possible before adding.) If mixture is still clumpy after adding the chopped cherries add a tsp of maraschino cherry juice and mix again, if needed add another teaspoon. You do not want this to be the consistency of frosting, you want to keep it as thick as possible.
• Using a cookie scoop or small spoon, scoop cherry mixture onto waxed cookie sheet in tbsp size blobs and put in the freezer for at least one hour.
• While they are in the freezer melt the Almond Bark in a microwave safe bowl.. Once it is melted add in crushed peanuts and peanut butter. Mix well.
• Drop a small amount of the peanut almond bark mixture into the bottom of each liner, just enough to cover the bottom of the liner.
• Break tablespoon cherry drops in half (you only want the cherry centers to be about ½ tbsp) and form it into a circle disk and place it on top of the melted almond bark you put down. Once you have placed all the cherry centers top them with a spoon full of the almond bark mixture and allow them to cool completely and set up before eating.
• Can be stored at room temperature for up to 10 days.
