Cathedral Windows
Makes about 60

1/4 pound butter or magarine
12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup chopped walnuts
12 ounces colored mini marshmallows
7 ounces sweetened grated coconut

Heat butter and chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler over low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth. Cool slightly. Toss marshmallows and nuts in a large bowl; stir in chocolate. Tear five 9-inch sheets of waxed paper and sprinkle each generously with coconut. Divide dough into fifths and place each fifth on a sheet of waxed paper. Roll tightly into 2-inch diameter logs and refrigerate overnight or until firm. Before serving, unwrap from waxed paper and cut into 1/2" slices.

Would make this again.
What dough?
I have wax paper tubes of loose dirty looking colored marshmallows mixed with nuts and coconut. This wasn't even remotely enough chocolate for this number of marshmallows. I followed the directions to a 'T' - apparently something went wrong (let it cool more than slightly???). I'm so sad: what a waste of ingredients. :( one star

Would make this again.
I received this recipe 40 years ago in my 1st Grade Cookie Recipe Booklet. Everyone in the class brought their favorite cookie recipe, and of course back than EVERYONE knew how to bake fabulous homemade cookies. I LOVED to make this one as a child! And here it is again. Now my children can enjoy it as well. Thank you for sharing! five stars
