Ingredients
Scale
2 cups sugar ½ cup milk ½ cup butter ½ cup cocoa powder 3 cups quick oats 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for rolling) 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder. Bring to a gentle boil and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring often. 2. Remove from heat and stir in oats, 1 cup coconut, and vanilla until fully combined. 3. Let mixture cool slightly, then roll into small 1-inch balls. 4. Roll each ball in extra coconut to coat completely. 5. Place snowballs on a parchment-lined tray and chill in fridge for 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Use fine, fresh coconut for the best coating. Add a pinch of salt to balance sweetness. Try mixing in chopped nuts or dried fruit for variation.
