Stir until smooth. Place nuts in shallow dish. Insert pick in top of each
marshmallow. Dip in chocolate to cover completely. Roll in nuts, coating

Repeat with remaining marshmallows. Let stand until firm. Stir together
leftover nuts and chocolate.

straw- berries can be dipped and placed in egg cartons until dry. ANY FRUIT
RECIPES SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE REFRIGERATOR UNTIL READY TO SERVE. The
fruit coated candy will keep 2 or three days.
