Chocolate Snowballs

From Ace's Family we have one of their favorite desserts that his mom made every year for Christmas. Desserts like this were made ahead and often frozen for the holidays. We thank you for watching and hope you will try them.

Chocolate Snowballs

Blend together in a saucepan:

½ cup Cocoa powder 50 grams
1 cup Sugar 198 gram
¼ cup Margarine 60 grams
1 cup Milk 240 grams


Bring to boil for 3-5 minutes; let mixture cool 5 minutes or until it is room temperature and then add

2 ½ cups Rolled Oats (Quick Oats) 250 grams
1 cup Coconut (fine unsweetened) 90 grams
1 tsp Vanilla 1 tsp

Do not let snowball mixture go cooler than room temperature or the coconut will not stick properly. Shape into balls as soon as mixture is cool enough to handle. You may wish to use food safe gloves as it is very messy. When ready place the coconut below in a large bowl or plate.

1 cup Sweetened Coconut 90 grams

Roll the shaped snowballs and roll in the sweetened coconut. Refrigerate at least 1 hour and enjoy. Store in fridge in an airtight container.
