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:
- Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries provide the best flavor and texture for cherry mash bars. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but the flavor will not be as good.
- Pit the cherries: Before you use the cherries in the recipe, you need to pit them. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to do this. If you are using a knife, be careful not to cut yourself.
- Use a sharp knife: When you are cutting the cherries, use a sharp knife to ensure clean, even cuts.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the bars tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the bars until they are set: The bars are done baking when they are set in the center. A toothpick inserted into the center of the bars should come out clean.
- Let the bars cool completely before cutting them: This will help to prevent the bars from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Cherry mash bars are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with fresh cherries, sugar, butter, flour, and eggs. The bars are baked until they are set and then cooled completely before being cut into squares. Cherry mash bars can be served plain or with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream.
