Step 2: Remove from Heat and Add Flavor
Take the saucepan off the heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract. Mixing it in at this stage keeps the flavor fresh and fragrant.
Step 3: Mix in the Dry Ingredients
Add the quick oats and shredded coconut to the warm chocolate mixture. Stir thoroughly until everything is evenly coated. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky, but still easy to scoop.
Step 4: Let the Mixture Cool Slightly
Allow the mixture to rest for a few minutes. This cooling time makes it easier to handle and helps the snowballs hold their shape when rolled.
Step 5: Shape the Snowballs
Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them gently into round balls. Aim for bite-sized portions so they’re easy to enjoy.
Step 6: Roll in Coconut
Pour extra shredded coconut onto a plate. Roll each chocolate ball in the coconut until fully coated. This creates the “snowball” look and adds a pleasant texture.
Step 7: Set and Serve
Place the finished snowballs on a tray lined with parchment paper. Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until firm. Once set, they’re ready to serve.
Tips for Perfect Chocolate Snowballs
- If the mixture feels too soft, let it cool a little longer before shaping.
- For a deeper chocolate flavor, use high-quality cocoa powder.
- Store the snowballs in an airtight container to keep them fresh and soft.
