3 cups miniature marshmallows (about half of 10 1/2 ounce package)
1 cup (6 ounce package) semisweet chocolate chips
1/3 cup butter
2 cups quick or old fashioned rolled oats
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla, rum extract or orange blossom water
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans

Preparation:

In saucepan over low heat, melt marshmallows, chocolate chips, and butter, stirring frequently, until smooth. Stir in oats and flavoring. Spread mixture into a buttered 8-inch square pan; sprinkle with the chopped pecans. Chill thoroughly until set.
Store wee cookies in a cool dry place in covered container.* if using for cupcakes when almost set roll into balls.
** If you use as a filling DO NOT BAKE IN THE CUPCAKE! Hollow out the cupcake and place a 3/4 inch ball inside tuck half a maraschino cherry on top with a slight sprinkle of orange zest if you use orange blossom water, and a sprinkle of toasted coconut if you use rum or just plain old grated chocolate if you use vanilla Then frost over that with Italian butter cream. We garnished with a sour cherry ball candy for cuteness.
