CHRISTMAS SNOWBALLS
Hi and welcome to our website!
We hope you are having a lovely day!
If you are looking to make some christmas desserts this is one you have to make!
So make yourself a cup of tea and sit back and enjoy our short video tutorial and recipe posted below!
Cocoa powder is one of the ingredients in this delicious dessert, one of my childhood favourite for sure....also coconut, oatmeal or roll oats. What's so lovely about these you can make them and freeze them until you are ready to eat them. Also give them as a gift for any occasion and have different toppings to roll them in.
After removing hot liquid from the stove, add vanilla and mix through. Then pour hot buttery mixture into a bowl and add the other ingredients. Oat, unsweetened coconut and cocoa powder then continue folding into hot liquid.
Having the right oats for this recipe is important, instant roll oats, large oatmeal but not steel cut.

If you are looking to make some Christmas cookies with your kids or grandkids, this is a prefect recipe to use. The kids would love rolling up those little snowballs and then rolling them in different toppings, plus nibbling on the mixture; it is so tasty.
