Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups sugar

  • 3 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
  • 3 cups semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Once the marshmallows have melted, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Bring to a boil without stirring. After about 3 minutes, the mixture will begin to brown and bubble furiously. As soon as that happens, remove the saucepan from the heat.
