Church Windows

Welcome to my month-long Caker Christmas Extravaganza! Throughout December, I'm posting weekly thricely. Wait. Does that make sense?

I couldn’t think of a more festive way to kick off the celebrations than with the stained glass majesty of Church Windows. Can’t you just hear the out-of-sync senior choir now? In fact, you couldn’t get any more festive unless you ate one while dancing to Grandma Got Run Over Reindeer in a pair of knitted slippers with a maraschino cherry stuck to your nose.

Word to the wise: when rolling these, it can get a little messy. Roll them up using a piece of waxed paper so your hands don’t get all choclity.

See you on Wednesday with a “nutty” holiday craft!

1 16-oz package semi sweet chocolate chips

3 cups coloured miniature marshmallows

¼ cup butter or margarine

½ cup pecans or walnuts (optional)

½ cup shredded coconut

Melt butter in saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate chips and melt. Cool. Stir in marshmallows and nuts. Divide in half and shape each half into a 6-inch roll. Roll each in coconut and wrap in waxed paper. Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Cut in 1/2" slices. Makes 24.

Yep, that's a real construction paper cover with a piece of green string holding everything together. It doesn't get more high tech than that.
