My mother used to make these and, although I rarely make them myself, once in a while I just get the urge – and I am never disappointed!

1 cup (6 ounces – I know; it doesn’t make sense mathematically) semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons margarine
1 egg, beaten
3 cups colored miniature marshmallows
½ cup chopped walnuts
1 cup coconut

In a heavy saucepan, melt the chocolate chips and the margarine over a low heat, stirring occasionally.  Stir a small amount of the chocolate mixture into the beaten egg, then pour the egg into the pan, stirring constantly so it does not curdle.   Cook for 2 minutes.  Let cool.  Gently fold in marshmallows and nuts and chill for ½ hour.  On a sheet of waxed paper, shape dough into a 1-1/2-inch diameter log.  Roll  in coconut to coat sides.  Wrap up tightly.  Freeze for 4 hours or overnight.  Remove waxed paper and cut into slices.
