Since the 1960's, whenever I've asked my family what dessert I should fix, this is what they've requested. It has a light texture and also a tempting pale chocolate color and is not overly sweet. It's a delightful treat. Ingredients:
3 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 90 wafers) |
2/3 cup butter, melted |
1/4 cup sugar |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
filling: |
1 milk chocolate candy bar (7 ounces), plain or with almonds, broken into pieces |
1 package (10 ounces) large marshmallows |
1 cup milk |
2 cups heavy whipping cream, whipped |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract |
sliced almonds, toasted, optional |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the vanilla crumbs, butter, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside 1/3 cup for topping. Press remaining crumb mixture into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. pan; refrigerate until firm.
2. In a large saucepan, heat the candy bar, marshmallows and milk over medium-low heat until chocolate and marshmallows are melted, stirring often. Remove from the heat; cool to room temperature.
3. Fold in whipped cream and vanilla; pour over crust. Chill for 3-4 hours. Sprinkle with reserved crumb mixture and almonds if desired. Yield: 12-16 servings.
