CHOCOLATE ROLL DAINTY

Steps:

• In a pot over low heat: Melt the chocolate and margarine.
• In a small bowl beat the egg slightly, carefully whisk into the above mixture until nicely blended.
• Remove from heat, add the graham crumbs.
• If the graham crumbs have not cooled the mixture to warm, allow mixture to cool to warm before folding in the marshmallows, walnuts, and cherries.You don't want to be melting the marshmallows.
• Shape into a roll on wax paper, rolling into the size you wish - basically like a sausage roll.
• For variety I often roll in flaked coconut which gives it an extra special look.
• Chill in refrigerator until set, slice and serve.
