Chocolate Cherry Marshmallow Crunch Bars Recipe

Chocolate Cherry Marshmallow Crunch Bars combine all my favorite flavors into one satisfying bite!

Right now I need to be consoled. That Super Bowl game was brutal. I mean, the 49ers were down big time and then the huge come back and then … nothing. I’m sad. I need chocolate. Lots of chocolate. It could take me weeks to recover from this loss without it. I have an idea! How about some Chocolate Cherry Marshmallow Crunch Bars to ease the pain?

Yeah. This is going to help. Big time. Chocolate makes everything better. You know what makes chocolate better though? Cherries. Oh man, maraschino cherries are a weakness of mine. My boys inherited this unfortunately. I say unfortunately cause now they have to fight me for the extra cherries on their sundaes. You know what else my boys love? Marshmallows. Ooey-gooey marshmallows. Why not put them all together and some CRUNCH to make it more satisfying?
