  • If you want to add sprinkles or other decorations, do so immediately after rolling the snowballs in powdered sugar.
  • Place the snowballs in an airtight container and store them in the freezer for up to two weeks.
  • To serve, let the snowballs thaw at room temperature for about 30 minutes before eating.
