I put this together for a Super Bowl Party we hosted right after Mike and I got married. It must have been delicious that time because I didn't get a bit of it! I did go back and make it again one time when we had folks come over and it was fabulous.

½ cup chopped pecans

I'm not that crazy about marshmallows; so, I think this would be just as tasty without that addition.
