1 1/2 lb. vanilla wafers, crushed
5-6 c. nuts
8 oz. halved dates
1 1/2 lb. raisins (dark and light)
1 lb. candied mixed fruit
1 lb. red and green candy cherries
14 oz. pkg. coconut

Mix in a large pan and set aside. Melt 1 1/2 pounds small marshmallows with a tall can of evaporated milk. Pour over mixture and mix well. Pack in containers of desired size and shape. Chill, remove from pan and serve. May be frozen.

This is the only fruit cake I can get my family to eat, which is just fine with me, because it is so quick and easy.
