I couldn't find the cherry chips, but I got into my candy supplies and found red vanilla flavored chips and added cherry flavoring to them! PERFECT!!

Great and have made them twice! Reminded me of what my mom made for Christmas every year. Tastes better than the actual Bing Candybar!

I use this recipe but increase marshmallows to 20 and instead of cherry chips which were not available where I was I used white almond bark (12 oz) and added 1 package of dry cherry kool-aid. My family prefers this modification of original recipe.

I have been making this particular recipe for about 10 years! I make it every year during the holidays and it's always a big hit. The taste is smooth and creamy and is very easy to make. Looks great in gift baskets!
