Preparation

Start by creaming your butter and sugar in the large bowl of your stand mixer, until they are fully incorporated. Side note: Make sure your butter is softened! Once you have your butter and sugar incorporated, add the vanilla and mix to combine.

Sift in the flour and salt using a sifter. (You can also use a whisk. In this case, a whisk works well.) Next, add your dried fruit and mix it in until incorporated. And lastly, mix in your toffee bits, white chocolate chips and oats.

Once your dough is ready, turn it onto a floured surface, shape it into a flat disc, wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 30 minutes. Preheat your oven to 350 F.

Once your dough is chilled, roll it out to 1/2 inch thick, and cut it into similar sized rectangles of your desired size. Then sprinkle them with turbinado sugar and place onto parchment paper lined baking sheets.

And lastly, bake them for 15 to 20 minutes or until the edges begin to brown.

• ½ cups Chopped Green Candied Cherries
• Extra Red And Green Candied Cherries, Cut In Half, Optional For Garnish

Preparation

Line a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with foil. Grease foil with cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large saucepan, melt 6 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. When butter is completely melted, add marshmallows and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are almost melted. Add the last tablespoon of butter and continue to cook and stir until mixture is completely melted and smooth.

Remove pan from heat and add the cereal and the chopped cherries. Stir gently to combine.

Pour into the prepared pan and press mixture evenly into the bottom of the pan. (Put a piece of wax paper between your hands and the mixture or spray your hands with cooking spray to keep them from sticking to the mixture.) If desired, press cherry halves into the mixture, spacing them a couple of inches apart. Cool completely before cutting into squares.
