I’d never heard of Cathedral Windows as a food, until I started dating the guy who’d later become my husband. His mother would make these every Christmas. They are so easy and incredibly tasty. Like many of my favorites, these can be made ahead of time and refrigerated until ready to serve.

In large microwave safe mixing bowl add:

• 1 stick real butter
• 12 oz package semi-sweet morsels

Microwave a minute at a time, stirring after each minute. Continue microwaving and stirring until mixture is melted and well blended. My microwave is pretty powerful, and it only takes about 1 minute, 30 seconds in mine for all to be melted. Be careful not to burn these ingredients. Nothing smells worse than butter and chocolate burnt in the microwave.

Then add:

• 1 bag colored marshmallows (Jet Puff brand has 12.5 oz)
• 1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

Gently fold marshmallows and nuts into melted mixture.

Tear off 4 pieces of wax paper, about 18” in length.

Spoon mixture onto wax paper, creating a 12” strip that is about 1 ½ “ in diameter.

Roll up the wax paper and gently form/press mixture into a log shape.

Repeat this process, creating about 3 or 4 more 12” logs.

Place all the rolls of mixture into refrigerator for 3-4 hours, or up to 2 weeks. Remove rolls and slice into ¼” slices. Place on a pretty dish and serve right away. Keep away from heat or extreme temperatures.

Yummy
