Chocolate Marshmallow Slices

This is another recipe that I make every year at Christmas time, and I'm always asked for the recipe. This is a Hershey's Kitchens recipe, but I'll post it the way I make it since it's a bit simpler.

• Ready In: 15 mins
• Serves: 12
• Yields: 36 slices

Ingredients

• 1⁄2 cup butter
• 2  cups  semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 6  cups mini marshmallows
• 1  cup walnuts, finely chopped

Directions

1. Combine butter and chocolate chips in a large bowl and microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring vigorously after each interval, just until the chocolate is completely melted. Be careful not to scorch the chocolate by microwaving it too long, or you will have to throw it out and start over (voice of experience speaking here).
2. Stir in the nuts until well distributed, and then stir in the marshmallows.
3. Lay out waxed paper sheets about 12" long, and spoon chocolate mixture down the long side about 2" from the edge. Roll wax paper over chocolate mixture and form a log, pinching the sheets together and pulling toward you a bit to eliminate air bubbles in your logs. Place logs on a cookie sheet, and refrigerate until solid.
4. Remove logs from refrigerator, remove wax paper and place on a cutting board. Slice into 1/2" slices and store in an airtight container in a cool place, or refrigerate. (Note: Prep time does not include refrigeration time).
