Step 1:

Prepare the ingredients. The nuts should be shelled, and the marshmallows cut in half.
Step 2:

Grind the cookies and nuts in a blender.
Step 3:

You should get crumbs like this.
Step 4:

Over low heat, warm the condensed milk in an aluminum saucepan (don't let it boil), stirring so it doesn't scorch, add the softened butter, and stir well.
Step 5:

Add the ground cookies and nuts to this mixture. Stir everything well.
Step 6:

Line a suitable mold with plastic wrap to make it easier to remove our treat.
Step 7:

Lay the marshmallow halves in a single row across the bottom of the mold. Pour half of the nut-cookie-milk mixture over the marshmallows. Then add another row of marshmallows and again top with the mixture.
Step 8:

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a couple of hours until set.
Step 9:

Dust the top with powdered sugar. You can get creative depending on the occasion. Today I've used a wintry blue glaze to match the candles, and coconut sweets that look just like snowballs. It is winter, after all.
Step 10:

It usually looks like this.
