Candy Log Roll

This recipe is adapted from my husband's side of the family. They used to eat this around Christmas growing up, so I thought I would try my take at re-creating it. (Don't mind the mustache's....it was for a mustache themed birthday party!)



Ingredients:

1 large container of green candied cherries, cut in half
1 large container of candied pineapple, cut in half
1 box of chopped dates
1 box of graham crackers, crushed
1 bag of mini marshmallows (I used about 3/4 of a bag)
2 cans, give or take, of sweetened condensed milk
1 large bag of sweetened coconut

Mix the above ingredients together, using just enough of the sweetened condensed milk to hold everything together. If you use too much, the logs will be falling apart and harder to attempt to roll in coconut. Divide the batter into 5-6 portions, depending on how big you want the logs to be. Form into a log shape on top of parchment paper or tinfoil and roll up tightly, twisting the ends to hold the logs together. Place them on a plate and into the refrigerator for a few hours until they are fully set. Slice the logs, as you need them, and serve. Make sure to store these in the refrigerator. They last anywhere from a few weeks up to two months in the fridge. (They are literally pure sugar candy logs). And, like most things, the longer it sits in the refrigerator, the dryer it will be as time goes by.
