How to Make Chocolate Dipped Snowballs

  1. Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently until completely melted.
  2. Add marshmallows to the melted butter. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring constantly, until marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Let the mixture cool slightly, about 10-15 minutes, until it's still slightly warm but manageable to handle.
  5. Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray. Shape the mixture into 24 small balls.
  6. Place the balls on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up completely.
  8. Melt dipping chocolate according to package instructions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  9. Dip the top of each snowball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  10. Place the dipped snowballs back onto the prepared baking sheet, chocolate-side up.
  11. Refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm.
