Several states on the east coast are covered with a blanket of snow today. While shoveling snow and getting around after a severe storm are difficult time-consuming activities, snowball fights and building snowmen are welcomed by kids everywhere!
Seeing the all the snow on the news reminded me of Snowball Candy, one of our family’s favorite treats. They look impressive with chocolate and coconut wrapped around a chewy marshmallow center, yet they’re surprisingly simple to assemble.
Snowballs
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons Watkins Baking Cocoa
1 teaspoon Watkins Vanilla Extract
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 32 squares)
3-1/2 cups flaked coconut, divided
32 to 35 large marshmallows
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside. In a saucepan, combine the butter, milk, cocoa and vanilla. Cook and stir over medium heat until butter is melted and mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat; stir in cracker crumbs and 1-1/2 cups coconut. Let stand until cool enough to handle.
Using moistened hands, wrap about 1 tablespoon of mixture around each marshmallow (dip hands in water often to prevent sticking). Roll in remaining coconut; place on prepared baking sheet. Cover and freeze until firm. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. May be frozen for up to 2 months. Yield: about 3 dozen.
Enjoy!
