Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups mini colored marshmallows
- 1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter over low heat, stirring continuously until smooth and fully combined. Remove from heat and let cool for about 5–7 minutes.
While the chocolate mixture is cooling, line a flat surface with a large piece of wax or parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini colored marshmallows and chopped walnuts or pecans.
Once the chocolate mixture has cooled slightly (it should still be pourable but not hot), pour it over the marshmallow and nut mixture. Gently fold the mixture with a spatula until all the marshmallows are coated in chocolate.
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly onto the prepared wax paper.
Spoon the chocolate-marshmallow mixture onto the coconut-lined wax paper and shape it into a log approximately 12 inches long. Roll the log in the coconut to coat the outside evenly.
Wrap the log tightly in the wax paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Once chilled, unwrap the log and slice it into 1/2-inch thick pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
