Cherry Mash Candy Bar Recipe

This Cherry Mash Candy Bar Recipe is a copycat of the beloved candy bar - a cherry, marshmallow base topped with chocolate, salted peanuts & peanut butter.

As a child, one of my favorite candy bars was the “Cherry Mash”.

But as I grew up, I found my beloved candy bar harder and harder to find.

(It was like they were EVERYWHERE when I was six and then NOWHERE when I was 16.)

When I moved to Kansas City and found out they were made only a stone’s throw away in St. Joseph, I was elated. I was SURE that being this close to the actual factory meant more access to my favorite candy bar.

I was wrong.

It was still as elusive as before. So as any good experimental cook, I decided to hack the recipe.

This Cherry Mash Candy Bar Recipe is as close as I have come to copycatting the real thing. The top chocolate layer alone is worth it (hello, chocolate, salted peanuts and peanut butter….let’s just eat you with a spoon). And the cherry bottom layer is still reminiscent of my favorite candy (be sure to buy good quality cherry chips – otherwise it can taste too waxy.)

The best thing about the recipe…it makes a TON (and freezes easily), so you can easily share with friends and family, or hoard it for yourself so you can always get a  Cherry Mash fix.
