• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Yields: 10 mini loafs

ingredients

• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
• 16 ounces miniature marshmallows
• 16 ounces graham crackers, crushed to crumbs
• 4 cups chopped pecans
• 1 (3 1/2 ounce) can flaked coconut (1 1/3 cups)
• 2 (8 ounce) packages chopped dates
• 16 ounces maraschino cherries, well drained, halved
• 1⁄2 cup Bourbon

directions

1. Spray 10 mini loaf pans with vegetable oil cooking spray.
2. In a 2-quart saucepan, heat the milk and marshmallow together over low heat.
3. Stir constantly, because condensed milk scorches easily, until the marshmallows are melted.
4. Remove the mixture from the heat.
5. Combine the cracker crumbs, pecans, coconut, dates and cherries in a large bowl.
6. Add the bourbon to the milk mixture and pour over the crumb mixture.
7. Mix well with your hands.
8. Scoop the mixture into the prepared pans and press down firmly to mold into shape.
9. Refrigerate for 2 days.

I see in the reviews of others that it was all white or too moist or too sweet. I didn't have a single problem and I messed up nearly every ingredient! LOL I used 12 oz of marshmallows instead of 16 oz, I used 14 oz of graham crackers instead of 16 oz, I used two cups of coconut instead of 1 1/2 cups. I added in a cup or so of raisins and used Crown Royal instead of bourbon. I just finished the recipe. It's messy and it's good! The only trouble I'm going to have is letting it sit for two days! I, also, didn't make mini bread pans. I used a big Tupperware bowl and pressed it in well. Plus, I didn't butter the Tupperware bowl! It's gonna be delicious I just know it!

I went exactly like the recipe said and it is awful, too sweet and moist. How can I correct it as I spent a lot of money on ingredients.

what's the green stuff in the fruitcake???

I made this for the first time and it looks white? I assume from the milk and marshmallows. But will it darken over time in the fridge?

Very like a fruit cake but no flour or cooking here, but made with marshmallow! Like it, especially the bourbon in it!
