Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix all ingredients together in a large bowl.
- Use wax paper; divide the mixture into 5 balls.
- Sprinkle coconut on the wax paper.
- Use hands to press and roll each ball into a tight, long roll, covering it with coconut.
- Roll each ball into a 10 to 12-inch long roll, then wrap each in the wax paper used for rolling.
- Wrap each in foil and freeze until ready to use.
- Thaw before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
To enhance flavor and texture, consider adding a pinch of salt to the mixture. If you don’t have candied cherries, dried cranberries or chopped dried apricots can serve as a great substitute. Using unsweetened shredded coconut can balance the sweetness of the marshmallows. For a twist, try rolling the logs in crushed nuts instead of coconut for a different texture.
Serving Suggestions
Slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces for easy serving. They pair beautifully with a cup of hot cocoa or coffee. For a festive presentation, serve them on a platter with fresh fruit or alongside other desserts like Grandma'S Chocolate Sour Cream Cake. These rolls can also be a fun addition to a dessert table at parties.
Storage & Reheating
Store the no bake marshmallow rolls in the freezer wrapped in foil and wax paper. They can be kept for up to 2 months. To serve, simply remove from the freezer and let them thaw at room temperature for 30 minutes. Avoid refreezing once thawed to maintain texture and flavor.
