I have used this recipe for several years. one of the easiest and most popular candies I make. I microwave the chocolate and use cashews as I don't care for walnuts. You can also vary the coatings. Let your imagination take over! Have used the coconut, but more popular is chocolate sprinkles. (multicolored ones are good during the holidays). Have also used ground graham crackers and other cookies and ground nuts. Feedback on the little round hard sprinkles is not so good. Have also used butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, and mint chips which were popular, too. White choc chips were a bit soft.

My mother and I have been making this recipe for a long time and I love it. The only difference is instead of coconut we use powdered sugar for the exterior. just put a good layer on the wax paper and roll it out like a log. chill in the refrigerator just like the recipe states. It is wonderful!!

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 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.

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 a very neat recipe. I found it very hard to form into rolls though. I think it could be placed inside of a loaf pan with the same results. (Which is what I will do next time)

These were pretty good. I made them exactly as written. Next time I'm going to add more nuts thou...to me it tasted like marshmellows and chocolate chips. I think more nuts would make this perfect.

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!
