1 pk Butter softened
12 oz Semisweet chocolate chips
1 ts Vanilla extract
1 c Chopped walnuts
10 1/2 oz Marshmallows multi-color
– miniature
1 c Flaked coconut, divided
=======================================================
============== ==== == In a large saucepan, melt the butter and
chocolate chips over low heat until completely melted. Remove the
saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla and walnuts. Cool the
mixture for about 15 minutes, until cool but not to the point of
hardening. Fold in the marshmallows and stir until well coated. Spoon
half of the mixture lengthwise down the center of a 12- inch piece of
waxed paper. Shape into a 2″ x 12″ log and place at one edge of the
waxed paper. Sprinkle 1/2 cup coconut over the remainder of the waxed
paper. Roll the log over the coconut, evenly coating the outside of
the entire log. Wrap the log firmly in the waxed paper, folding the
ends snugly. Repeat with the other half of the marshmallow mixture
and 1/2 cup coconut, Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or
overnight. Unwrap each log and cut into 1/4 ~inch slices. NOTE: These
are perfect to brighten up your cookie trays. The colors are just
like stained glass church windows.
Note: Slice this and serve it plain or spread with cream cheese or
butter.
