Recipe Added:  11/2/2011 
1½ cups coconut, divided
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
½ cup butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup toasted walnuts, finely chopped
10 oz mini fruit marshmallows
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted 
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla 
1 egg, lightly beaten
3 cups pastel mini marshmallows (1 pkg)
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1 cup coconut
Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper. Leaving a 1-inch gap, sprinkle ½ cup coconut in a strip measuring 3 inches x 10 inches. Repeat for second lined baking sheet. Set them aside.

Using a 3-4 quart saucepan over medium heat, add chocolate chips and butter. Stir until all chips are melted. Remove pan from heat, stir in vanilla and allow chocolate to cool slightly. Using another mixing bowl, add mini marshmallows and chopped walnuts. Pour chocolate over marshmallows and walnuts.

Using either a wooden spoon or spatula, stir until all marshmallows are completely coated. Scoop ½ of marshmallow mixture on top of coconut. Evenly sprinkle ¼ cup coconut on top of marshmallow mixture.

Using 1-inch lip of wax paper, begin tightly rolling marshmallow mixture into a log. Tuck in ends of paper and repeat steps for remaining marshmallow mixture. 

Chill in refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours. Unroll coated marshmallow “logs” and slice ½ inch cookies.
