No‑bake stained glass cookies: A sweet visual delight

The name "windows" comes from the light pieces embedded in the mixture, which resemble colorful, decorative church window glass. This dessert is somewhat similar to the well-known chocolate block but in an even simpler form. All you need is chocolate, butter, and a few colorful additions.

This dessert is actually something between homemade chocolates and cookies. It is sweet, easy to make, and delicious. Stained glass cookies are a true feast for the eyes and taste buds. Their name perfectly reflects their appearance—they resemble colorful stained glass, sparkling in bright colors. It's not only a tasty dessert but also a wonderful decoration for any table. No chocolate lover will overlook these cookies.

Ingredients:

      
• 3.5 oz dark chocolate,
• 3.5 oz milk chocolate,
• 3.5 oz pastel mini marshmallows, 
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts.

Preparation Method:

Step 1. Break the dark and milk chocolate into pieces and transfer them to a pot. Add butter and heat until the ingredients melt into a uniform mixture.

Step 2. Chop the walnuts and add them to the melted chocolate. Also, add the small, light-colored marshmallows. The more additions you include, the more distinct the stained glass effect will be. Pour the mixture into a loaf pan lined with parchment paper. The smaller the pan, the larger the cookies will be. Refrigerate for a few hours, preferably overnight. You can sprinkle the top of the dessert with coconut flakes or shreds.

Step 3. Once set, cut the block into smaller pieces and indulge in the sweet chocolate flavor. Store the dessert in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 4 days. You can also freeze the cut stained glass pieces by packing them in a ziplock bag. When ready to eat, remove them from the freezer and place them in the refrigerator or at room temperature. Enjoy!
