"This has been a Christmas Staple for as long as I can remember, the best part is it is simple and no bake and looks fantastic on a cookie tray. I have even added chopped up candy canes instead of the nuts for a extra sweet surprise twist. Have fun with other add-ins. Hope you enjoy this simple and quick addition to your holiday celebrations."
- Ready In:
- 10mins
- Ingredients:
- 6
- Yields:
-
1 24inch log
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1 cup other nuts (optional)
- 1 (10 1/2 ounce) bag colored miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup flaked coconut (optional)
directions
- Ina large saucepan, melt the butter and the chips over low heat until completely melted.
- Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and chopped nuts.
- Cool mixture for about 15 minutes, until cool but not not to the point where it is hardening.
- Fold in the marshmallows and stir until well-coated (it will look like you don't have enough chocolate but don't worry) Spoon mixture down the center of a 24" piece of waxed paper or aluminum foil and shape into a log.
- At this point if you like coconut roll the log in coconut to cover (I personally have never used the coconut so I can't give you any pointers here.) Wrap the log firmly in the foil or waxed paper, folding the ends snugly.
- Refrigerate 2 hours or until ready to serve.
- (I keep this one around for days in the fridge and cut it up as I need it for Christmas trays). When ready cut into 1/4 inch slices and enjoy!

while this taste great I had an issue with not enough choclate to actually cover the marshmallows sufficently. Also the mixture broke my wooden spoon! (Maybe its just time for some new spoons) -
My brother couldn't stop munching on these- I used the green/red star marshmallows - thanks for the great recipe! -
Wow! This made a LOT more than I was expecting, but it's SOOOOO good. EXTREMELY rich, so definitely slice those babies THIN. Also, this is a very messy treat, so have lots of napkins handy. The chocolate is very melty. I made this with white marshmallows for Halloween and it looked very creepy in my gift basket along with big shards of peanut brittle and gummy worms sticking out strategically. :D

I am a stay-at home, homeschooling mom of 5. I like to cook but seldom have the time to put together fancy meals. I am interested in getting new ideas since no one here likes to plan the menu. I like to garden and grow my own herbs and veggies in the summer.
