Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt margarine and chocolate together.
- Stir in the beaten egg, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, and marshmallows until well combined.

- Divide the mixture into two parts.
- Shape each part into a long roll with coconut on the outside, placing on the coconut-covered paper.
- Chill in the refrigerator overnight.

Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of your Angel Goodies, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. If you don't have margarine, unsalted butter is a great substitute. For a nut-free version, simply omit the chopped nuts or replace them with seeds. Make sure to chop the nuts finely for better distribution throughout the mixture.
Serving Suggestions
These Angel Goodies are delightful as a sweet treat for gatherings or as a dessert after dinner. They pair beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of coffee. For a festive touch, serve them alongside slices of Texas Strawberry Pie or your favorite holiday cookies. They also make a great addition to a dessert platter.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover Angel Goodies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. To maintain their shape and texture, it's best to keep them chilled. If you want to serve them warm, simply let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before slicing and enjoying.
