Chocolate Coconut Snowballs

December 23, 2013 By Kerry Cooks 1 Comment

Chocolate Coconut Snowballs

Alright, here it is! The last recipe I’m bringing you before Christmas. I chose this recipe because these Chocolate Coconut Snowballs are hands down the best, easiest, tastiest foodie gift I’ve ever made. With only a few ingredients, they taste absolutely scrumptious  (if you love Bounty bars, you’ll love these!) and are a breeze to make too! They’re perfect for giving in little bags to friends for any occasion, or for making for parties.

Are you rushing to your kitchen yet? What if I mention that as well as being perfect for the time-poor (they’re no-bake!), they’re also wonderfully thrifty if you don’t want to spend a fortune on ingredients (making homemade truffles, florentines or fudge can swiftly become an expensive affair when you’re using good quality ingredients) – in fact, I’m betting you probably have all of the ingredients in your cupboard right now! I can definitely see these becoming part of my Christmas celebrations every year going forwards.

Ingredients
  1. 225g golden caster sugar
  2. 115g unsalted butter
  3. 120ml milk (use skimmed, semi-skimmed or whole)
  4. 75g cocoa powder
  5. 350g oats
  6. 400g unsweetened shredded coconut
  7. 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
  1. Prepare a medium sized heatproof bowl with your sugar, butter, cocoa powder and milk. Pop into the microwave and heat continuously on high for three minutes.
  2. Remove your mixture from the microwave (careful - it will be very hot!) and stir in the vanilla, oats and 200g of coconut. Stir everything thoroughly, and try to resist the urge to put your face into the bowl.
  3. Put your mixture into the fridge or somewhere else cold to cool, and then prepare to make your snowballs! Pop the other 200g of your coconut into a bowl, and prepare a work surface with parchment paper to contain the mess.
  4. Use a teaspoon or your fingers to scoop walnut sized balls of mixture, and roll into a ball shape between your palms. Roll again in the shredded coconut - that's it - they're done!
Notes
  1. Add rum, bailey's or cinnamon for some fantastic seasonal variations!

    I’d never think to use oats a truffle type treat, what a good idea, as you say truffles can get so expensive. These look gorgeous and I love coconut. Thanks so much for sharing on #festivefoodfriday.
