  • 2 cups sugar
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 12 large marshmallows
  • 12 oz. package cherry chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 12 oz. package milk chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup salted peanuts, chopped

Combine sugar, sweetened condensed milk and marshmallows and cook to soft ball stage.  Remove from heat and add cherry chips and vanilla.  Beat with spoon until chips are melted.  Spread in buttered 9″ x 13″ pan.  Over hot water melt chocolate chips.  Stir in peanut butter and peanuts.  Spread this mixture over pink layer.  Cut into small pieces as this is very rich.
