Stained Glass Windows

• 12 cup butter, softened
• 1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup chopped walnuts (optional) or 1 cup other nuts (optional)
• 1 (10 1/2 ounce) bag colored miniature marshmallows
• 1 cup flaked coconut (optional)

1. Ina large saucepan, melt the butter and the chips over low heat until completely melted.
2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and chopped nuts.
3. Cool mixture for about 15 minutes, until cool but not not to the point where it is hardening.
4. Fold in the marshmallows and stir until well-coated (it will look like you don't have enough chocolate but don't worry) Spoon mixture down the center of a 24" piece of waxed paper or aluminum foil and shape into a log.
5. At this point if you like coconut roll the log in coconut to cover (I personally have never used the coconut so I can't give you any pointers here.)
6. Wrap the log firmly in the foil or waxed paper, folding the ends snugly.
7. Refrigerate 2 hours or until ready to serve.
8. (I keep this one around for days in the fridge and cut it up as I need it for Christmas trays).
9. When ready cut into 1/4 inch slices and enjoy!
