Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup chopped almonds
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups of unsweetened shredded coconut, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup of chopped almonds into the mixture. Make sure they are evenly distributed; each snowball should have a bit of almond in it!
- Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- While the snowballs are chilling, melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Remove the snowballs from the refrigerator. Dip each one in the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out and let the excess chocolate drip off.
- Return the coated snowballs to the parchment-lined baking sheet. If desired, sprinkle a bit of extra shredded coconut or finely chopped almonds on top before the chocolate sets.
- Place the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate is fully set.
