stained glass windows


What's this? A recipe at the kitchen table? I have gotten a couple of requests for the recipe for my stained glass windows so here it is.

Stained Glass Windows

12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup butter
10.5 oz. bag colored mini marshmallows
7 oz. sweetened coconut

In a large bowl, microwave chocolate chips and butter in 30 sec-1 min increments, stirring in between, until melted and smooth. Cool 5 min; then fold in marshmallows. Spread coconut over 2 12x18 inch sheets of waxed paper. Place half the chocolate mixture on each sheet. Form into a log about 16 inches long. Sprinkle some of the coconut on top of the log. Use the waxed paper to roll tightly. Roll the waxed paper roll in a sheet of foil to hold it securely. Refrigerate 4 hours. Cut into 3/8 inch slices.

Not technically a cookie, but cookie-sized so it can definitely pass whenever cookies are called for. Easy as pie -- actually, way easier -- and a crowd-pleaser. Enjoy! (But you'd better clear it with me before you show up at a holiday potluck with them.)

There has been a whole lot of sewing going on over here, but most of it gifts, so the posts will have to wait! Stay tuned.
