This is also good rolled in chopped nuts or just plain. I found it easier the 2nd time when I poured the chocolate OVER the marshmellows and nuts. Finger licking good!:-)
I really loved making this with my boys. I remember making this at Church Bible School when I was.....seven or eight and just having a blast as did my little boys. I did use pecans instead of walnuts but that was the only change I made. Really REALLY fun and I told my memories to my boys while we made them. It was just wonderful for all of us. NOTE: If you melt the chocolate with the butter and let it cool just a bit add in the nuts and then pour it over the marshmallows it works a little easier.
this was so easy to make and the kids loved it left out the coconut and nuts to make it friendly for a 1yr old.
This is very much like the recipe my mother made back in the 1970s. Like some of the previous reviewers I think it is easier to pour the mixture over the marshmallows and I prefer to roll the mixture in the nuts. I used salted butter which helps with the sweetness and chopped pecans.
I used to make this candy as a child with my mother. She passed away 14 years ago and I did not have the recipe. Through luck and some simple browsing I happened upon it again. Thank you!
I had made this recipe over 20 years ago and was so happy to find it again. Instead of wax paper the new reynolds release foil is wonderful to use nothing sticks. Also in a pinch regular white marshmallows work great.
Excellent recipe Bea thanks for sharing! I made them for my friends bridal shower and they where a hit. An easier version is to spread the coconut onto a peice of wax paper and place the mixture tube length down the sheet then just roll the rest in cocunut wrap with wax paper and place in fridge overnight. Just cut the next morning (I used my electrical knife). I think next time I'll try half semi-sweet chips half milk chocalate chips for a cremier taste.
I was a little skeptical when I was making this but when it's cut it turns out beautifully! Everyone loved it so I guess it's a winner!
I made these for my son-in-law who's mother made them every Christmas. He loved them!
