Should I Cook It?

I’m told that there are hundreds of different versions of these snowballs made during the holidays in Newfoundland Canada. Here’s the version I made. ⬇️

Two-Bite Chocolate Snowballs: EP#56

Cooking Zone: 🔵Inspired

Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• ¾ cup sugar (white or brown)
• ½ cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 cup oats
• ½ cup grated coconut (sweetened or unsweetened)
• ¼ cup cocoa
• ½ tsp. vanilla
• Pinch of salt
• More coconut for coating

Steps

1. In a large saucepan, bring the sugar, milk and butter to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring often to prevent the mixture from frothing and boiling over. Keep stirring for 6 minutes, then remove the saucepan from heat. Stir in oats, coconut, cocoa, vanilla, and salt. Transfer the mixture to a bowl and place in the fridge to cool and slightly firm. Roll the mixture into a dozen (or so) equal-sized mini snowballs. Put about a half cup of finely grated coconut on a plate or shallow bowl. Roll the balls in it to coat. Gently place each snowball in a reusable food storage bag or container and place in the freezer. They’re deliciously chewy straight from the freezer.

Recipe Notes:

• Don’t Chill The Oats Mixture Too Long → Roll into mini snowballs while the mix is still moist. Wait too long and it will dry out and crumble in your hands.
• If The Mix Dries Out → Add the smallest amount of milk. About a teaspoon. It’ll be messy but you can still roll the mix.
• Not Recommended → Tossing a chocolate snowball in the air and trying to catch it in your mouth. I failed. ⬇️
• Why Cook It? → No baking, they taste awesome, and stay chewy in the freezer!
