Equipment

  • Spatula
  • blender or food processor
  • knife
  • Parchment or Wax Paper
  • Measuring cups
  • spoons

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Dried Cranberries or any small bits of dried fruit
  • 2 cups mini marshmallows
  • ½ – 2/3 cup Eagle brand milk
  • 2 cups finely chopped dates
  • 1/4 cup Coconut Flakes
  • 12 full size graham crackers pulsed into crumbs in the blender or food processor
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans

Instructions

  • Gather all your ingredients – dried cranberries, mini marshmallows, Eagle Brand milk, finely chopped dates, coconut flakes, graham cracker crumbs, and finely chopped pecans. Ensure your workspace is clean and have two large sheets of parchment or wax paper ready.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine dried cranberries, mini marshmallows, finely chopped dates, and finely chopped pecans. Toss them together until evenly coated.
  • Incorporate the graham cracker crumbs into the mixture. These will add a delicious nutty flavor and act as a binding agent.
  • Slowly pour in ½ to 2/3 cup of Eagle Brand milk, a couple of tablespoons at a time. Stir the mixture as you go. Add just enough liquid to make the mixture wet but still able to hold together when pressed with a spoon.
  • Lay out the two sheets of parchment or wax paper on your counter. Divide the mixture onto them and shape it into a log using your hands.
  • Sprinkle the log lightly with the remaining graham cracker crumbs. Make sure to coat the entire surface for a delightful texture and flavor.
  • Roll the log tightly using the paper, smoothing the shape as you go. Twist the ends tightly and chill the log in the refrigerator until firm. This process usually takes at least 2-6 hours.
  • Once the log is firm, use a very sharp knife to slice it into pieces. The chilled date nut roll is now ready to be enjoyed!
  • Store your delicious date nut roll in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain its freshness and texture.
  • With each slice, relish the perfect combination of sweet dried fruits, gooey marshmallows, creamy Eagle Brand milk, and the delightful crunch of graham cracker crumbs and pecans. Share with friends and family or keep it all to yourself – either way, enjoy!

Notes

  • For a boost of flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the mixture.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the log for clean and even cuts.
  • Refrigerate the log for a few hours before serving for optimal texture and flavor.
  • Experiment with different dried fruits and nuts to customize the recipe to your liking.
  • Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
