Recipe - Micro-Wave Oven Cherry Mountain Bars

1 pack (12 oz) milk chocolate chips
1 tablespoon Margarine
10 ounce Crushed salted peanuts
Three fourths cup Peanut butter
1 2/3 cup Sugar
2/3 cup Evaporated milk
One fourth cup Margarine
9 lg Marshmallows
1 teaspoon Vanilla
4 ounce White chocolate bark; candy
coating or almond bark
1 teaspoon Cherry flavoring
5 dr Red food coloring

Place chocolate chips in a 4 cup measuring cup. Cook on medium heat for 2
minutes or until melted Add margarine and peanut butter Stir in peanuts and
mix well Spread onehalf of the mixture in the bottom of a 9by13pan and
chill Combine the sugar, milk and margarine in a large pitcher, bring to a
full boil and boil hard for 3 minutes. Remove from the oven and add the
marshmallows and white chocolate bark. Stir until melted Stir in vanilla
and cherry flavoring and coloring. Cool slightly. Spread on top of
chocolate layer and cool Add last layer of chocolate and chill. Tips: Melt
the chocolate chips slowly, as they have a tendency to scorch. Line your
pan with plastic wrap which can be lifted right out of the pan. Leave
several inches hanging over the edge. Cut in exact squares. These are so
good. I have a grown stepgranddaughter that has requested these every year
since she was a little girl. They aren't just for Christmas either. I have
made them at Easter and shaped them like eggs. These keep really well in
freezer or a air tight jar.
