CHERRY MASH BARS

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.

For a tarter mash, add less sugar. - If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a paring knife to remove the pits. Just be careful not to cut yourself. - The mash can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. - The mash can be used as a filling for pies, tarts, and other desserts. It can also be used as a topping for ice cream or yogurt.
