MARSHMALLOW DATE NUT ROLL
A frozen dessert rich nutty and filled with dates and marachino cherries.My bestfriend and I would whip this up for our boyfriends some 30 years ago. The Whipped cream at serving time is a nice festive touch, but the boys just would slice off a piece and gobble it down with a glass of milk.

DATE NUT ROLL
Another recipe that my wonderful mom made every year for the holidays. I remember a long object rolled up in a kitchen towel, hanging from the clothes line, and this year I found out it was the date nut roll, hung out to dry. I guess it's part of the process. So this year mom came for Thanksgiving and I documented the recipe, of course adjusting for those without a closeline.
