Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Stained Glass Windows

12 ounces bitter-or semi-sweet chocolate chips
 1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
 1 package (10.5 ounces) mini marshmallows *(see note below)
 1 cup toasted chopped pecans

*Can make these with colored marshmallows, which can be hard to find. Can use a half bag of the red star and green tree holiday marshmallows that we "cut in half" and mixed with a half bag of the white mini marshmallows.

 Melt the chocolate and butter in a large bowl over simmering water until butter is almost melted. Continue to whisk until butter completely melts; stir in nuts. When mixture is cool enough not to melt the marshmallows, stir them in. Scrape half the mixture onto a large piece of waxed or parchment paper and remaining half onto a second sheet. Form each into a tight 12-inch logs. Refrigerate until set. Slice into ½ inch slices and
serve.
