DATE NUT LOG
Another one of Mom's recipes. This is similar to some fruit cake recipes that I have seen on JAP but uses only the marshmallows, dates, and nuts -- and is smaller in size so it is not overpowering. You can add other things if you like -- such as raisins, or candied fruit. You may need to add a little more graham crackers and...

Steps:
- 1. Mix dates, marshmallows, nuts and cream.
- 2. Add 2 cups graham cracker crumbs. Work well to solid form, (like meat loaf). Add more crumbs if too sticky
- 3. Separate into to 2 portions shaped like liverworst (longish tube or log), place on waxed paper (or plastic wrap -- not aluminum foil) onto which more graham crackers have been sprinkled.
- 4. Roll to cover in crumbs and then wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours. When they have "set up" they can then be removed and sliced for serving.
- 5. Will store, as rolls, in fridge for quite a while so they can be made ahead, then removed when needed. Slice just before serving.
- 6. NOTE 1: It has occurred to me that rather than chopping all these tiny things before hand -- the dryish ingredients could be placed in a food processor which would chop and mangle things very small. Perhaps the cream would assist the chopping or maybe should be added after they are chopped up? Then add the graham cracker crumbs, perhaps by hand, to form and shape.
- 7. NOTE 2: These are actually quite versatile little things. You can add other things, like cherries, or peanuts. If you have the patience you could even cut up caramels for inclusion, too. You could also add spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or cloves if you like.
- 8. And you can roll the logs in coconut, or crushed nuts, instead of more graham crackers, too. After you slice them, they could also be dipped in melted chocolate, so they are all ready to serve with no rush at serving time.
- 9. This is an opportunity to be creative and make something really special for the people in your life. Enjoy!

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.

Tips:
- Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeating can make them dry and brittle, which will result in a tough and chewy marshmallow date nut roll.
- Make sure the sugar syrup is cooked to the correct temperature. If the syrup is not cooked to a high enough temperature, the marshmallow will be sticky and gooey. If the syrup is cooked to too high a temperature, the marshmallow will be hard and brittle.
- Allow the marshmallow to cool completely before rolling it up. If you try to roll up the marshmallow while it is still warm, it will be too soft and sticky and will tear.
- When rolling up the marshmallow, be sure to roll it tightly so that the filling does not come out. You can use a piece of parchment paper to help you roll up the marshmallow.
- Chill the marshmallow date nut roll for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving. This will help the marshmallow to set and firm up.
Conclusion:
The marshmallow date nut roll is a delicious and impressive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its sweet and sticky marshmallow filling and its crunchy and nutty date and walnut crust, this dessert is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give this marshmallow date nut roll a try. You won't be disappointed!
