1/2 pound (10 oz.) marshmallows
1/4 cup water
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/4 pound (1/2 cup) butter
1 6 oz. can evaporated milk
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate bits

In top of double boiler, combine marshmallows and water; cook over boiling water until marshmallows are melted, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile in a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, butter, milk and salt, mix thoroughly. Bring to a rolling boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling for 8 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent mixture from sticking to bottom of pan.

Remove from heat and stir in melted marshmallows and chocolate bits. Mix until thoroughly blended and the chocolate bits are melted. Pour into buttered 8 x 12 inch pan. Cook thoroughly and cut into squares.

Makes about 2-1/2 pounds.
