I HAVE searched for this without avail. My string might be off, though.
And I should've taken a freakin' picture of them before we ate the
bloody things!

The gist: A dark-colored chocolate log maybe 1-1/2" diameter covered
with the Krispie Treats mixture (I don't think it had pb in it), then
sliced into coins maybe 1/2" thick.

The ones I bought looked like two of those coins side by side and
smooshed together a bit. Like if you assembled it this way: a thin
rectangle of the Krispie Treats mixture, two of the chocolate logs laid
parallel to the short sides, maybe 2" in from the edges, then the RKT
rolled over them from both sides so that the end result was two of these
RKT-covered chocolate logs side by side with a common bottom, then
sliced. There's a pastry that looks like that.

It's the chocolate center that's got me. It was kind of fudgy but I
wouldn't say it was fudge. I would be surprised if any cooking were
involved.

Anybody have a name for what I'm looking for, or any good suggestions
for faking the chocolate log?

I await your counsel.

Sounds easy to make. You can make the center using the simple condensed milk
and bittersweet chocolate fudge method. (The recipe is probably on the can,
or there are plenty of them online if you google. It's just bittersweet
chocolate melted with condensed milk and perhaps a little butter and
vanilla) Form the fudge into logs when it has thickened enough. Make rice
crispy treat stuff--the recipe's on the box--and form it around the fudge
logs. Chill and slice.

Yeah, I figured out the part about the RKT - it was the chocolate log
that I'm curious about. The texture of it was just the slightest bit
chewy. Thanks for the suggestion for the condensed milk fudge thing.
If I can't ferret out the recipe, i'll give it a go.

Those double-rolled pastry thingies are called palmier - concentric
circles, rolled from each side - is that what it looked like, with
chocolate in the centers? I wonder if one of the easy fudge recipes
would work....

I just got a bead on the woman who made them and I have a call in to
her. Stay tuned.

Yeah, palmier. That's the ticket.

I just had a call from the woman who donated them to the bake sale.

Krispie Treat Logs

1 pkg large marshmallows (fresh and soft)
1/2 cup of margarine or butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
6 cups rice krispies

12 oz pkg chocolate chips

Set aside 12 marshmallows.

Divide butter in half; set one half aside

Melt marsh with 1/4 cup butter, add peanut butter, pour over rice
krispies,

Spread on jelly roll pan, thin and flat.

Let set while you combine the 12 marshmallows and remaining 1/4 cup of
butter, and chocolate chips and melt in microwave (put all together and
then melt). Spread over rice krispies and roll like a jelly roll.
Refrigerate overnight and slice into pieces. Or use a smaller pan and
pat half the RKT in the pan, pour the chocolate over, then top with
remaining RKT.

Except that's not exactly what she does!!! LOL! A woman after my own
heart. She usually puts the chocolate more in the middle of the RKT
and kind of folds the RKT over the chocolate so it's one big glob of
chocolate in the middle. AHA!!!

Mission accomplished,
Thanks for playing.

If you make these, take a photo. From you description it's hard to
understand what it looks like. Is it a roll (round slices), or not?
If yes, then is one side of the RKTs thicker than the other due to the
globbing in the center and then flopping over of the RKT?

Hi, D! Yeah, that's the way the recipe is written but it isn't how she
made them. :-)

So, are they any good? I guess they must be, otherwise you wouldn't

Yeah, they were good. As much as anything, they were different from
anything I've ever seen. That was as much the attraction as anything.

Not sure. There's no real reason to, I think. Now that I know the
original recipe, I may futz with it some.

If this would be kept and served at less than room temp...My chocolate Pate
recipe would be a nice filling...But alas it doesn't take to room temp for
long periods ( say anything over a hour)..it melts.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

aka Kathy's Chocolate Pate

none

1 cup unsalted butter 250 ml
1/4 cup granulated sugar 50 ml
4 egg yolks
2 tbsp. brandy 30 ml
2 tsp. vanilla 10 ml
8 oz semi-sweet chocolate 250 g melted; and cooled
1 cup whipping cream 250 ml

In mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugar. Beat in
egg yolks, rum and vanilla. Blend in chocolate.

Whip cream lightly and stir into chocolate mixture. Turn into 3-cup (750
ml) mould or small pots. Chill until firm, at least 8 hours. (If you make
it the night before you can eat it for lunch and still have enough time to
make another batch
for dessert).

Makes about 8 servings.

(actually it makes about two servings - if you have the right people).

Use a light flexible metal mould or small pots or crocks. The recipe cam be
doubled for a large mould (or two small ones).

From Kathy

Tried this and it is good...with congac.
