## Equipment

## Tips

- Use colored mini marshmallows to get the stained glass window effect. If you use white marshmallows, you won't get this effect.
- Let the melted chocolate and butter cool for 5-10 minutes before adding it to the marshmallows, otherwise the hot mixture will melt them.
- Grease your hands to avoid a mess when forming the log, or simply use clean, dry hands.
- Chill the logs in the fridge for a minimum of 4 hours, or ideally overnight, before slicing.
