OLD FASHIONED CHERRY MASH CHOCOLATES

Steps:

• First, line the mini muffin pan with paper liners. Set aside.
• Then, line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
• Next, in a small bowl, combine softened butter and powdered sugar. Using a hand mixer, beat until it starts to stick together. It will be clumpy.
• Add patted-dried, chopped maraschino cherries. Mix well. IF the mixture is still clumpy after adding the chopped cherries, add a half tsp of maraschino cherry juice and mix again. If needed, add another half teaspoon and so on. You do not want this to be the consistency of frosting. You want to keep it as thick as possible.
• Using a tablespoon-size cookie scoop or small spoon, scoop cherry mixture onto lined cookie sheet an inch apart. Place in freezer for at least one hour.
• Next, while cherry drops are freezing, follow the instructions on the package to melt Almond Bark in a microwave-safe bowl. Once melted, add crushed peanuts and peanut butter. Mix well.
• Then, drop a small amount of the Almond Bark mixture into the bottom of each liner, just enough to cover the bottom of the liner.
• Take cherry drops out of the freezer and break each one in half. (You only want the cherry centers to be about ½ Tbsp). Form the halved drops into a circular disk and place one on top of each Almond Bark mixture already in the pan.
• Afterward, top each cherry drop with a spoonful of the Almond Bark mixture.
• Allow to cool completely and set up before eating.
• Can be stored at room temperature for up to 10 days.

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips, nuts and peanut butter together. Place half in the bottom of a 9x13 buttered pan and cool until it no longer looks shiny. Microwave marshmallows in a large bowl and add frosting and blend well. Spread over set chocolate mixture and let set until firm. Spread the final layer of chocolate over the top and let cool again. Cut into pieces and store in refrigerator.
• ***You may want to increase the marshmallows a bit to make a firmer center 1/2 C mini or 5 large. A popular baking manufacturer in the US still makes the Cherry Frosting, but not all grocery stores carry it.
