Scale
Ingredients
- 8 oz Vanilla flavored CandiQuik (Almond Bark or melting wafers)
- 2 cups sweetened coconut flakes
- 6 oz colored marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare Coconut Base: Spread out a large piece of plastic wrap approximately 14 inches by 9 inches. Cover the plastic wrap evenly with the 2 cups of sweetened coconut flakes to form the base layer.
- Prepare Marshmallows: Place the 6 oz of colored marshmallows into a medium-sized bowl to prepare for coating.
- Melt Candy Coating: Melt the 8 oz of vanilla flavored CandiQuik candy coating according to package instructions until smooth and fully liquid. Pour the melted coating over the marshmallows and stir gently to ensure all marshmallows are evenly coated.
- Assemble Log: Spread the coated marshmallow mixture down the center of the coconut-covered plastic wrap, creating a long, even line.
- Shape the Cookie Log: Grab one long side of the plastic wrap and lift it up toward the top, folding it over the marshmallow mixture so that the coconut surrounds it on all sides, forming a log shape.
- Wrap and Seal: Roll the log gently to shape it uniformly, then wrap the plastic wrap tightly around it to seal and hold its shape.
- Chill: Place the wrapped log in the refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes to allow it to set and firm up.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, unwrap the log and slice into cookies. Serve immediately for best texture and freshness.
- Storage: Store any leftover cookies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use colored marshmallows for a festive, vibrant look appropriate for Easter celebrations.
- If vanilla-flavored CandiQuik is unavailable, plain white almond bark or vanilla melting wafers can be substituted.
- Be careful not to overheat the candy coating to prevent burning or thickening.
- The cookies are best enjoyed within 3-4 days for optimal freshness.
- For easier slicing, chill the log thoroughly so the cookies hold their shape when cut.
