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
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
While the chocolate mixture is cooling, line a flat surface with a large piece of wax or parchment paper.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini colored marshmallows and chopped walnuts or pecans.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly onto the prepared wax paper.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Wrap the log tightly in the wax paper and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm.
Step 8
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.
