Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (plus extra for coating)
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt and mix – Gently melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Once smooth, stir in the sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  2. Step 2: Add crushed peppermint candies – Fold in the crushed peppermint candies and shredded coconut carefully, ensuring even distribution without breaking down the texture.
  3. Step 3: Chill the mixture – Cover the mixture and refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up slightly, making it easier to roll into snowballs.
  4. Step 4: Form the snowballs – Using hands or a small scoop, form the mixture into bite-sized balls. Roll each snowball generously in additional shredded coconut to create a snowy exterior.
  5. Step 5: Final refrigerate – Place the snowballs on a lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for another 20-30 minutes until fully set and firm.

Notes

  • Use high-quality white chocolate for a smoother melt and better flavor.
  • Crush peppermint candies finely for better distribution and pleasant texture.
  • Keep hands cool by chilling them slightly before rolling to prevent melting the mixture.
  • Line trays with parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding a pinch of sea salt or reducing condensed milk if desired.
