How to Make Chocolate Snowballs

  2. Remove from heat immediately. Do not stir.
  3. Gently fold in 2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup shredded coconut, 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  4. Refrigerate the mixture for 30-60 minutes, or until firm enough to handle.
  5. Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls.
  6. Roll the balls in the remaining 1/2 cup shredded coconut until fully coated.
  7. Place the Chocolate Snowballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill for an additional 15 minutes before serving.
