Instructions
1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the condensed milk, crushed Marie biscuits, chopped marshmallows, chopped dried apricots, and chopped walnuts. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
2
Gradually add the coconut, mixing it into the mixture until you achieve a moist and sticky consistency. You may not need to use the entire 3/4 cup of coconut, so adjust according to the dryness of the mixture.
3
Take handfuls of the mixture and roll them into short, fat log shapes. Be creative with the thickness; it can vary according to your preference.
4
Roll each log in extra coconut to coat the outside evenly.
5
Place the coated logs onto a sheet of greaseproof paper. To refine their shape, gently press down while rolling the logs, creating a more uniform and attractive appearance.
6
Twist the ends of the greaseproof paper tightly to secure the logs, resembling candies.
7
Carefully place the logs in the freezer and allow them to chill for several hours until set. For best results, freeze overnight.
8
About an hour before serving, remove the logs from the freezer. This will make them easier to slice and enjoy while still maintaining their chewy texture.
