Ingredients

• 1 package (10-1/2 ounces) pastel marshmallows
• 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
• 2 cups (12 ounces) semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup butter, cubed
• optional: powdered sugar or coconut

Preparation

Step 1

Place marshmallows (and nuts if desired) in a large bowl; set aside. In a heavy saucepan, melt chocolate chips and butter over medium-low heat. (*Set aside to cool/not cold, or will melt marshmallows if too hot*)Pour over marshmallow mixture and mix well. (Optional: Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.)

Taste of Home: Shape marshmallow mixture into a 12-in. roll; wrap in waxed paper. Refrigerate for 4 hours or until firm (or freeze). Unwrap and cut into 3/8-in. slices; cut slices in half.
Yield: about 4-1/2 dozen.

KC: I divide into 4 parts, placing each part onto wax paper that has been sprayed with cooking oil and sprinkled with powdered sugar or coconut. Roll into logs, chill, then slice. Or logs keep well in freezer for later.
