These taste great but I wish I would have lined my pan with wax paper so I could life them out of the pan easily or at least I should have sprayed the pan to help get them out. Thanks for the recipe!!

I love bing bars; however, I think this recipie (at least on my screen) is missing most of the directions. You need to melt the butter (oleo), marshmallows, sugar, evaporated milk and salt into a thick buttery looking syrup. (I believe you add the vanilla in this step but cannot remember for sure from when my grandma made this recipie). Then you remove from the heat and add the cherry chips and mix until melted and blended. Spread in a 9x13 pan and chill until set. Then make the chocolate top mixture by melting the chocolate and pb together. I add a little milk to make sure it is spreadable. Then mix in chopped nuts and spread over chilled cherry mixture. I do love these bars!
