Start icing 5 minutes before cake is done. Combine sugar, corn syrup, milk and butter in a saucepan and boil 2 minutes (no longer), then add chocolate chips, vanilla, and nuts. Mix until chocolate chips are melted.

Place miniature marshmallows all over the top of the cake as soon as it is removed from oven. Drizzle hot icing over the marshmallows. Let cool. Yummy!
