Here's a super simple candy that's reminiscent of my favorite ice cream. It's easy to make and just about foolproof!
1 pound of milk chocolate
1-1.5 cups pecan halves or large pieces
1-1.25 cups mini marshmallows (or what makes you happy)
Cut or break the chocolate into coarse pieces; place in the top of a double boiler over warm water on low heat. (Milk chocolate must be melted very slowly and should never get really hot...trust me on this one.) Cover until partially melted, then uncover and stir until completely melted and smooth.
Spread a thin layer (about half) in a foil-lined 8-inch square pan. Sprinkle with half the pecans and all marshmallows. Stir remaining chocolate and drizzle over the top so that the marshmallows and pecans are held in place. Top with remaining nuts. Refrigerate until firm.
Remove from pan and peel off the foil. Cut into small squares and wrap in saran or waxed paper for a special touch. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
You can substitute walnuts or cashews, if you like. Or you can add dried fruit instead of the nuts if you have allergies.
