This colorful and festive treat is a fun throwback to classic holiday sweets! The combination of chocolate, walnuts, marshmallows, and coconut makes it irresistible. Here’s how to prepare it:
Ingredients
1/2 cup salted butter
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
5 1/2 cups (10.5-ounce package) rainbow-colored miniature marshmallows
1 cup flaked coconut
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate
In a saucepan, melt the butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly.
Once smooth, remove from heat and let it cool slightly. This step prevents the marshmallows from melting when added.
- Combine Ingredients
Stir in the chopped walnuts and marshmallows into the cooled chocolate mixture. Let it sit for a few minutes to cool further if necessary.
- Prepare for Rolling
Lay a sheet of waxed paper on your work surface and spread the flaked coconut evenly over it.
- Shape the Logs
Divide the chocolate-marshmallow mixture into two equal portions.
Shape each portion into a long log, approximately 2 inches in diameter. The mixture will be sticky, so use the waxed paper to help roll and smooth the shape.
- Coat in Coconut
Roll each log in the coconut, using the waxed paper to coat all sides evenly.
- Wrap and Chill
Wrap each log tightly in waxed paper, then again in plastic wrap.
Refrigerate overnight (or longer) to allow the logs to set.
- Serve
When ready to serve, let the logs defrost slightly.
Slice into rounds about 1/3 inch thick.
Arrange on a festive plate and enjoy this retro holiday treat!
