10ozmulti-colored mini marshmallows(one 10-oz package)
1cupchopped walnuts
2cupsshredded sweetened coconut(one 7-oz package)
Instructions
Place ½ cup butter and 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips in a saucepan over medium low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until just melted (this should only take a minute or two).
Let mixture cool for 10 minutes so the marshmallows don’t melt when added.
Prepare the 10 oz multi-colored mini marshmallows and 1 cup chopped walnuts by placing them in a large bowl. Once cooled, pour the chocolate mixture over the top, and stir to combine.
Divide the 2 cups shredded sweetened coconut in half, and spread each portion down the center of a sheet of plastic wrap. Divide the chocolate marshmallow mixture in a half and spread it down the length of the coconut on each sheet of plastic.
Use the plastic wrap to help you shape the chocolate marshmallow mixture into a log, coated with the coconut. Repeat this step with the second sheet of plastic wrap so that you end up with two cookie logs.
Wrap each cookie log tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate both logs for 2 hours, or until firm.
Slice into ½ inch pieces. Serve either cold or at room temperature.
Notes
You may not need all the coconut. The 2 cups ensures you have enough to coat both rolls nicely but some will fall off.
Storage Info
Store in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
Tightly seal and freeze for up to 3 months. For easier storage, freeze before slicing.
Variations
Use a different nut, like chopped pecans, almonds, or peanuts.
Replace the fruity marshmallows with regular mini marshmallows or other specialty flavored marshmallows.
Leave the coconut off.
Roll the cookie log in sprinkles, very finely chopped nuts, or crushed cookies instead of coconut.
Substitute other flavors of baking chips like peanut butter, caramel, white chocolate, or mint.
