Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter
12 ounce bag semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
10 ounce bag pastel miniature marshmallows
2 cups coconut flakes sweetened

Instructions

Add butter and chocolate chips to a medium saucepan. Place over medium low heat. Stir constantly until the mixture has just melted.
Take off of the heat and let the chocolate cool for 10 minutes.
Lay out 2 large pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper (15x18-inch). Spread 1/2 cup of the shredded coconut down the middle of each piece.
Add the mini marshmallows to a large bowl. Pour the cooled chocolate over the marshmallows and stir to coat.
Spread half of the marshmallow mixture on top of the coconut. Repeat with the second one. Divide the remainder of the coconut and sprinkle over the top of both.
Divide the remainder of the coconut and sprinkle over the top of both.
Use the plastic wrap or parchment to shape the mixture into logs. Wrap them up tightly and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm.
Cut into ½ -inch slices.

Notes

Make sure the chocolate isn’t too hot before adding the marshmallows. Touch the chocolate with your knuckle. If it’s barely warm and you can comfortably touch it, it’s safe to add the marshmallows.
Lightly lift the parchment paper to help the chocolate mixture roll into a log shape. Then, twist the ends like a candy wrapper to keep it closed.
Slice the chocolate log while it is still cold. If you let it heat up too much, it won’t slice as neatly.
They will last one week in an airtight container at room temperature.
