This was delicious! I decided to use a mix of peanuts and pecans and I did not use the marshmallows or maraschino cherries because I did not have them on hand and I didn't want the extra sweetness of the marshmallows. I was going to serve with a size of cherry pie filling, but my plans got disrupted. It was great just the way it was!
