Chocolate Drizzled Snowballs
These little {no bake} “snowballs” are distinctly coconut. They taste like a combination of a Girl Scout Samoa & a Mounds candy bar but they are way better for you than either of those classic desserts!
These Chocolate Drizzled Snowballs are completely grain-free, dairy-free & refined sugar free which puts them at the top of my list for dessert.
The other good thing about these “snowballs” is that you can literally eat them almost as soon as you are done making them so no waiting around for them to cool off out of the oven.
