Ice Box Dessert

We have to admit, this is probably the LEAST healthy thing we make at Christmas (well, along with the fudge, gingerbread, and sugar cookies...), but we're going to share the recipe anyway, because we love it. Oh, and Aunt Teythem, we made this video just for you, in honor of last Christmas's cookie dough stealing extravaganza. ;)

Ice Box Dessert
1 lb of walnuts, chopped
1 lb of dates, chopped
8 oz of maraschino cherries drain, but keep the juice!, chopped into halves (we double this)
1 pint of heavy cream
1 large bag of mini marshmallows.
2 pounds of graham crackers crushed fine. (The big box used to be 2 pounds, now it's 1 pound 12 oz, but it still works.)

Mix nuts, dates, cherries and marshmallows together. Pour cream over the top with a little of the cherry juice for flavor. Start adding graham cracker crumbs, stirring as you go, until it forms a dough. You should have crumbs left over.

In aluminum foil (you'll need three long pieces) lay down some graham crumbs the long way. Put 1/3 of the dough in a log shape on the crumbs. Add more crumbs. Roll up sides and the ends. You should have three logs to chill. Refrigerate for a few days, then slice. OR eat it out of the bowl right away, as we did above.
