Ingredients:
1 tablespoon plus 1 cup butter, divided
4-1/2 cups sugar

36 large marshmallows
2 ounces unsweetened chocolate, melted
4 cups (24 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
1-1/2 cups chopped macadamia nuts
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
vanilla frosting
red and green paste food coloring
m&m's® brand mini chocolate candies
Directions:
1. Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with foil. Grease the foil and 3-in. cookie cutters with 1 tablespoon butter. Place cookie cutters in pan; set aside.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, milk and remaining butter. Cook and stir over medium heat until mixture comes to a full rolling boil. Remove from the heat; stir in marshmallows until melted. Add unsweetened chocolate and chocolate chips; stir until chips are melted. Stir in nuts and vanilla.
