Here is an easy, retro recipe for making a large volume of a Christmas treat that resembles a stained-glass window. They're retro yummy too.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 pound of butter (equivalent to 1 stick or 1/2 cup)
- 1 bag of chocolate chips (340 grams)
- 1 bag of multi-coloured miniature marshmallows (400 grams)
- 1 cup of finely chopped walnuts
Instructions:
Melt the butter and chocolate chips and stir gently until smooth, then cool. Pour over the marshmallows and nuts and stir to combine. Roll the mixture into logs and refrigerate; this is easier said than done, and takes a little bit of coordinated effort. I laid out 2 fairly long sheets of waxed paper, blobbed half of the mixture onto each sheet and used my hands to form the mixture into 2 loosely held- together 'log' shapes, each about 16 inches long. After washing my hands, I brought one (long) edge of the waxed paper up and over the log and squeezed gently while rolling it to cover the log completely in waxed paper, then held the whole thing together by twisting the paper at each end.
After the logs have hardened in the fridge, they can be removed from their waxed paper covering and sliced.
I guess I'll never be hired as a "technical writer". Darn it.
