DEE DEE'S NO-BAKE ICEBOX FRUITCAKE AND NUT ROLL
I think the non-fruitcake lover is going to love this cake! In an attempt to copy a recipe that the baker refused to share (many years ago), I came up with this wonderful recipe. I did some research on other recipes that I felt were similar and tweaked several to come up with this delish nut and fruit roll. I would have to say...

Steps:
- 1. Combine cracker crumbs, cherries, nuts, coconut, raisins, and craisins; set aside. NOTE: This is my suggestion for the meat of this nut roll. You can change out fruits and nuts of your choice. I would NOT suggest peanuts. You may like candied fruit and dates in place of cherries, raisin and craisins that I added. Craisins were a complete and wonderful accident. I had every intention of using only raisins. I only had 1/2 lb of raisins in the house and a pound and 1/2 of craisins. The craisins were a wonderful addition to what I was attempting!
- 2. Meanwhile, in a 2-quart sauce pan, stirring constantly, heat milk and marshmallows together until marshmallows are melted; remove from heat and add bourbon. NOTE: I used a double boiler.
- 3. Pour milk mixture over dry mixture. Mix well with hands. NOTE: If mixture is too loose, add more cracker crumbs. If too dry, add more liquid; milk or juice. I would not add more bourbon.
- 4. Divide the mixture into 8 to 10 balls. Somewhat shape into logs. Wrap in plastic wrap and using hands continue to shape into tight logs. The size roll should be the size you would like to slice and serve as a cookie.
- 5. Tighten the plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours. Slice and serve. Keep refrigerated.
- 6. NOTE: If you perfer loaf pans over a roll, spray 8 to 10 mini loaf pans with PAM and pack mixture in pans. NOTE: You can also roll these rolls in coconut flakes, powdered sugar or chopped nuts for a final touch. ENJOY!!
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.

Steps:
- In a food processor blend the graham cracker crumbs, the dates, 1/2 cup of the coconut, and the honey until the mixture is just combined. Add the walnuts and blend the mixture until it forms a ball. Have ready in a shallow dish the remaining 3/4 cup coconut, form the date mixture into walnut-size balls, and roll the balls in the coconut, pressing the coconut slightly to make it adhere.
Tips:
- To make the perfect graham cracker crust, use a combination of graham cracker crumbs and melted butter. The ratio should be 1 cup of crumbs to 1/4 cup of melted butter.
- When pressing the crust into the pan, use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to ensure that it is evenly distributed and compact.
- Chill the crust for at least 30 minutes before filling it. This will help to prevent the crust from becoming soggy.
- Use a high-quality cream cheese for the filling. This will give the roll a rich and creamy flavor.
- To make the filling extra smooth, beat the cream cheese and sugar together until light and fluffy.
- Add the chopped dates and nuts to the filling and mix until well combined.
- Spread the filling evenly over the chilled crust.
- Roll the crust up tightly, starting from one end. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- Before serving, sprinkle the roll with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate syrup.
Conclusion:
This no-bake graham cracker date nut roll is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is made with a combination of graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, cream cheese, sugar, chopped dates, and nuts. The roll is chilled for at least 2 hours, or overnight, before serving.
