12-oz pkg semisweet chocolate chips
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup chopped walnuts
10 1/2-oz pkg colored mini marshmallows
1 cup sweetened flaked coconut, divided

In a large saucepan, melt butter and chocolate over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove the saucepan from the heat ad stir in vanilla and walnuts. Cool the mixture for about 15 minutes, until cooled but not to the point of hardening.

Fold the marshmallows into the cooled mixture and stir until well coated. Spoo half of the mixture lengthwise down the ceter of a 18-inch piece of waxed paper. Shape into a 12*2-inch log and place at one edge of the waxed paper.

Sprinkle 1/2 the coconut over the remainder of the waxed paper. Roll the log over the coconut, evenly coating the outside of the entire log. Wrap the log tightly in the waxed paper, folding the ends snugly. Repeat with other half.

Chill until firm, at least 2 hours or overnight. Unwrap logs and cut into 1/2-inch slices.

Makes about 4 dozen cookies.
