Instructions

Step 1

Put graham cracker crumbs on a large plate and set aside.

Step 2

Put chocolate chips and butter into a small pot and cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until completely smooth, 3-4 minutes; set aside. Whisk together the sugar and eggs in a large bowl. Add vanilla and chocolate-butter mixture and stir well to combine. Fold in walnuts and marshmallows.

Step 3

Moisten your hands with water, then form one-third of the chocolate mixture into a 10"-long log. Gently roll log in graham cracker crumbs to coat all over. Transfer log to a large piece of wax paper, roll up tightly, and twist ends like a party favor. Set aside and repeat process with remaining chocolate mixture and graham cracker crumbs.

Step 4

Refrigerate candy logs until completely firm, about 4 hours. Carefully unwrap logs and cut into thick slices. Serve candies immediately. (Uncut candy can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.)
