Description:

Wonderful little treats, great to take to potlucks (they travel well). I have made these without using the dried fruit, and just with raisins, and they are still wonderful, but even better with the dried fruit!

2/3 cup evaporated milk
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped candied pineapple OR apricots

Instructions:

Prepare the Mixture:
