Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Mini colored marshmallows
- 1.5 cups Desiccated coconut
- 8 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Chopped pecans or walnuts
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the unsalted butter and semi-sweet chocolate chips. Melt them together using a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and glossy.
Remove the melted chocolate mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini colored marshmallows and chopped pecans or walnuts.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the marshmallows and nuts, and gently fold until all the pieces are evenly coated.
Spread a generous amount of desiccated coconut onto the prepared parchment paper.
Spoon the chocolate-marshmallow mixture onto the coconut in a log shape. Use your hands or a spatula to shape it into a cylinder, sprinkling the log with additional desiccated coconut to fully coat it.
Wrap the log tightly in parchment paper or plastic wrap, pressing gently to maintain the shape.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until firm and set.
Once chilled, unwrap the log and dust lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy, festive finish.
Slice into 1/2-inch pieces and serve chilled or at room temperature.
