Ingredients

  • 1 cup chopped pecans
  • 2-3 cups mini marshmallows if you use the large ones you will need to cut them into quarters.
  • 1 cup krispies
  • 1 cup dried cherry pieces
  • 1 ½ bags milk chocolate chips
  • 1 bar 4-ounce bar of semi-sweet chocolate
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions

Prep

  • Start by greasing a 8x 8 glass baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray, set aside.
  • If needed, chop the marshmallows. If you chose the mini marshmallows you will not need to chop them. If you have the larger marshmallows, you need to chop them into quarters.
  • In a large microwave safe bowl, melt the chocolate bar and chocolate chips together, heat it for 1 minute, then stir, then heat it for 30 second intervals, stirring in between until completely melted. If you over heat it, add a few more chocolate chips and mix it around. It should help the chocolate become smooth again.

Assembly

  • Proceed to add the marshmallows, chopped pecans, dried cherries, and rice krispies to the melted chocolate and stir well to combine and coat all the ingredients with the chocolate.
  • Then, pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared greased baking dish and press it down until it has evenly covered the dish.
  • If desired, you can add sprinkles on the top before the chocolate hardens.

Cool

  • After that, place the dish into the refrigerator for 1-2 hours until it has completely hardened.
  • Slice into squares, serve and enjoy!
  • It is best to keep this in the fridge until enjoying it to avoid the chocolate softening.
