Chocolate Roll

This is a classic household dessert, served at every Thanksgiving. It isn't too much work and is great for kids to make. There are two varieties, one with walnuts and another with coconut. I enjoy both but some people don't like walnuts and others are opposed to coconut, so if you have a crowd, make both. The method below describes a chocolate roll created with both walnuts and coconut, change as desired. If you're in charge of dessert for party, this is a good one that many people haven't yet had the pleasure to try.

Ingredients
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1 beaten egg
10 oz. package mini marshmallows
1 tbsp butter
1 pkg German sweet chocolate
Salt
1 capful (tsp) Vanilla
Walnuts
or Coconut

Method

• Mix together sugar and egg in a mixing bowl
• Melt butter and chocolate together and mix into sugar mixture
• Stir in a pinch of salt
• Add marshmallows and a handful of chopped walnuts
• Wash up and mix together with your hands
• You could try it with a spoon, but hands will give you the best mixing
• Mix well
• Line wax paper with coconut (or walnuts if you desire no coconut) and pour the mixture in a log on the paper
• Roll the log until it is covered with coconut (this is where you could be rolling it in walnuts instead)
• Wrap with the wax paper like a giant Tootsie Roll, twist off ends, store in a cool place (fridge is okay) until ready to serve
• Serve in slices, about 1/4" or a little thicker in width
