1 cup sugar
2 T margarine
1/4 tsp salt
1/3 cup half-and-half or evaporated milk
1 cup  miniature marshmallows
1 cup cherry chips
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup salted Spanish peanuts
1/2 cup peanut butter

Combine sugar, butter or margarine, salt and milk in 1 1/2 – 2 quart saucepan.  Boil over medium high heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.  Stir in marshmallows and cherry chips.  Spread in 8″ or 9″ square pan which has been lined with waxed paper.

Melt chocolate chips with peanut butter in small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly.  (I sometimes use a double boiler.)  Stir in peanuts.  Spread over cherry layer.  When cool, cut into squares.   If desired, refrigerate for faster setting.
