Growing up, these were always made for every kid's birthday party and for Christmas. They are so easy to make and very fudgy. The yield on these will vary depending on how big you make the snowballs. The "cooking" time is the time it takes for the mixture to cool.

Time 45m

Yield 20-30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups sugar
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups coconut
5 tablespoons cocoa
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Boil sugar,milk and butter gently for 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Fold in rolled oats, 1 cup coconut, cocoa and vanilla.
  • Chill mixture for about 1/2-1 hour. Form into balls and roll into remaining coconut.
  • Some tips for getting the texture of these correct:.
  • -- Be precise with your measurements.
  • -- Boil for no more than 5 minutes and time it from point it starts to boil.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the snowballs will taste. Use real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality chocolate chips.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the snowballs hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the snowballs until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. The snowballs should be slightly soft in the center when you take them out of the oven.
  • Allow the snowballs to cool completely before rolling them in powdered sugar. This will help the powdered sugar stick to the snowballs.
  • Store the snowballs in an airtight container at room temperature. They will keep for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Chocolate snowballs are a delicious and festive holiday treat. They are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect chocolate snowballs that will be the hit of your next holiday party.
