Cathedral Windows
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.
I have made these, which I have called church windows, for years. I was unable to make them this year as I was unable to find colored marshmallows!

Would make this again.
This was my Dads favorite, so we make it every year and remember him as we eat it. I make mine in mini loaf pans and then slice it. I think that makes it less messy

Aunt made this recipe years ago. I tried it-----lots of positive comments at church bazaar!!!!! Sweet, but a nice treat to pass around at a party!!!! I used powdered confectioners sugar instead of coconut.

Would make this again.
My mom used to make these when we were kids and we all loved them. When we lost Mom we also lost many of her recipes.
This is identical to hers with the exception that she always rolled her logs in finely crushed Graham Cracker crumbs instead of powdered sugar or coconut.
I am so glad I found this recipe again.
Everyone will be pleased to see them at Christmas.
