Stained Glass Window Cookies

Sometimes called cathedral candies,
many versions of this popular sweet abound,
including some rolled in sweetened shredded coconut.

Ingredients:
2 cups graham cracker crumbs
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 tbsp. butter
2 cups confectioners' sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 10 1/2-oz. package colored miniature marshmallows

Directions:
Put graham cracker crumbs on a large plate and set aside.
Put chocolate chips and butter into a small pot
and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly,
until completely smooth, 3–4 minutes; set aside.
Whisk together the sugar and eggs in a large bowl.
Add vanilla and chocolate–butter mixture and stir well to combine.
Fold in walnuts and marshmallows.
Moisten your hands with water, then form
one-third of the chocolate mixture into a 10"-long log.
Gently roll log in graham cracker crumbs to coat all over.
Transfer log to a large piece of wax paper, roll up tightly,
and twist ends like a party favor.
Set aside and repeat process with remaining
chocolate mixture and graham cracker crumbs.
Refrigerate candy logs until completely firm, about 4 hours.
Carefully unwrap logs and cut into thick slices.
