This recipe will make you nostalgic for your s'more-and-campfire days.

Holiday Yule Log

Ingredients:

•     1 stick butter
•     12 oz (1 bag) unsweetened carob chips
•     1/2 cup toffee bits
•     1 cup chopped walnuts
•     12 oz (1 bag) mini-marshmallows
•     1 cup sweetened flaked coconut

Directions:

• Melt butter, carob chips and toffee bits together in the top part of a double boiler over low heat, stirring until smooth and melted.
• Place marshmallows and walnuts in a large bowl, stir in carob mixture while warm.
• Cut sheets of foil into rectangles, 5" wide. Lay coconut along the surface, covering 2/3 of the foil.
• Divide mixture into four. To create a "roulade"-type effect, place 1/4 of mixture on the edge of each sheet of foil and begin to roll. You will be covering the log with coconut.
• Refrigerate overnight.
• Before serving, unwrap foil and cut 1/2" slices while cold.
• Allow slices to warm to room temperature before serving.

Variations:

After you pour carob mixture over marshmallows, put entire mixture back in top pan of double boiler and allow it to melt together. Spray a pan with nonstick spray, then spoon out in mounds on a cookie sheet, let cool and refrigerate.

Substitute 12-ounce bag of chocolate-and-peanut butter chips for the carob chips and toffee bits.
