Snowball
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. + freezing
YIELD: about 3 dozen.
I've been making these popular treats for 40 years, much to my family's delight. They look impressive with chocolate and coconut wrapped around a chewy marshmallow center, yet they're surprisingly simple to assemble.
Ingredients
-
1/2 cup butter, cubed
-
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
-
3 tablespoons baking cocoa
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
2 cups graham cracker crumbs (about 32 squares)
-
3-1/2 cups sweetened shredded coconut, divided
-
32 to 35 large marshmallows
Directions
-
1.
Line a baking sheet with waxed paper; set aside.
-
2.
In a large 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.
-
3.
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.
