Cherry Mash recipe image
Cherry Mash is a nostalgic, no-bake treat that balances the deep richness of semisweet chocolate with the bright, tart sweetness of cherry pie filling.

This dessert is incredibly easy to assemble, requiring no oven time, making it perfect for potlucks, summer gatherings, or when you need a quick fix for a sweet tooth. The flavors meld beautifully as they chill, creating a dense, fudge-like bar that is both indulgent and refreshing. It&# 226;ÂÂs a crowd-pleaser that feels like a homemade classic.

Ingredients
  • 12 ounce Semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 can Cherry pie filling
  • 7 ounce Marshmallow cream
  • 1 cup Nuts
  • 3/4 cup Crunchy peanut butter
Directions
  1. 1
    Place semisweet chocolate chips and crunchy peanut butter in a large microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup.
  2. 2
    Microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, then stir. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. 3
    Fold the chopped nuts into the melted chocolate-peanut butter mixture until evenly distributed.
  4. 4
    Lightly grease a 13x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
  5. 5
    Spread half of the chocolate-nut mixture evenly over the bottom of the prepared pan to form the base layer.
  6. 6
    In a separate medium bowl, gently fold the cherry pie filling into the marshmallow cream until combined and swirled.
  7. 7
    Spoon the cherry-marshmallow mixture over the chocolate base, spreading it gently to create an even middle layer.
  8. 8
    Spread the remaining chocolate-nut mixture over the top of the cherry layer to seal the dessert.
  9. 9
    Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or until the layers are firm and set.
  10. 10
    Once chilled, lift the dessert out of the pan using the parchment paper (if used) and cut into 1.5-inch squares or bars.
