Southern's Brother's favorite Chocolate Marshmallow Clusters

My brother died seven years ago, alone in another country. We had to have 
him cremated in order to bring him home for burial. Wish I could say that 
I've come to terms with it, but I still cry and miss him terribly. 

This recipe was one of his childhood favorites. 


CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW CLUSTERS 

6 oz. semi-sweet chocolate 
1/2 cup sugar 
1/2 cup evaporated milk 
1 tablespoon light corn syrup 
1 cup chopped pecans 
1 cup miniature marshmallows 

In a heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk, and corn syrup. Bring mixture to 
a full boil over medium heat. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. 

Remove from heat. Add chocolate pieces. Let cool for 10 minutes. Stir in 
nuts and marshmallows. Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet lined with 
waxed paper. Refrigerate for 1 hour. Makes about 24 candies.
