These Cherry Chocolate Nut Bars are a family favorite. Our cute neighbor Sylvia makes these every year for Christmas. If you are not home when they are delivered, you will have a whole year to wait for another shot at one of these yummy bars! They will go fast! We finally got the recipe from her. They are so easy to make and very addicting. They taste just like a Big Cherry candy bar!
Cherry Chocolate Nut Bars
Ingredients:
12 ounces milk chocolate chips
3/4 cup chunky peanut butter
12 ounces salted peanuts, chopped
1 package (10.5 ounce) miniature marshmallows
1 container cherry frosting (16 ounce)
Directions:
Melt chocolate chips and peanut butter on low in the microwave. Stir well and add the chopped peanuts. Spread half of this mixture in a 9 x 13 inch glass pan sprayed very lightly. Place in fridge to set up. Melt marshmallows. We melted it in the microwave on very low stirring every 20 seconds. When melted and smooth, stir in the frosting. Spread this mixture carefully on top of the chocolate layer. Let cool in the fridge. Then top with remaining chocolate for the last layer. If it has set up a little, just microwave it for about 30 seconds and stir well. Be sure to spread each layer to the edges of the pan.
Refrigerate until firm. Cut into pieces - about 48. Store in refrigerator.

Oh...my...goodness! This is my mom and I's favorite candy bar. These are going to be made this year for Christmas. Thank you so much for posting this!
ReplyDeleteThese look delish! This may be just what I will be bringing to the upcoming holiday party. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteYES! I have been looking for this recipe for a while. I even resorted to begging friends on FB to see if any of them had it. A former boss used to make it and I never got around to asking for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I can't wait to try this out.
These are truly amazing, I have wanted this recipe since the first time I tried them. Glad you shared this!

Thanks for the recipe. My daughter has nut allergies so we can try these with substitute PB and leave out the peanuts.
ReplyDeleteGirls you are killing my hips but love love your site. I tried the cracker toffee recipe and OMG it is fantastic. Now I saw this one and gotta try it. it is worth the few seconds on the lips and years on the hips. Keep up the great site. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI've never seen cherry frosting in a store. Is there a particular brand you use?
ReplyDeleteBetty Crocker makes a cherry frosting (I found it at Wal Mart). Duncan Hines has the new frosting where you have to add the flavored powder and they have a cherry-vanilla that would work. Hope this helps! These are super yummy!
ReplyDeleteThis looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out...
ReplyDeleteCould you just make homemade buttercream with almond flavoring? We always say it tastes like cherry. And also, would it work to use a container of marshmallow cream instead of melting the marshmallows? I happen to have the one and am out of the other. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDid you try it with the marshmallow cream? I only ask b/c I wanted to try it too if it worked. I just made this with actual marshmallows like the recipe called for but I had difficulty trying to get them to melt smooth enough.
DeleteWe have only made this following the recipe. But if your homemade buttercream is what you like, I think it should work. We're not sure on the marshmallow cream. I'm thinking it may just work! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThese look amazing!
ReplyDeleteYum!!! These sound amazing!! Can't wait to make some.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing this at Artsy Corner. Hope to see you again this week :)
Oh My Goodness!! I haven't had these since I was a little girl (too long for me to think about, lol) Sounds amazing.
