1 king size hershey chocolate bar.... (7 - 8 oz.) |
12 oz. bag of nestle's chocolate dots --- mini semi sweet chocolate chips |
1 cup cashews, unsalted, chopped |
1/2 cup pecans ,chopped |
1/2 -3/4 cup raisins |
1 jar ( 7-8 oz.) marshmallow fluff |
1/3 cup butter |

2. break up Hershey Bar into pieces
3. add chocolate dots on top
4. then add the nuts and then the raisins
