Description

I was trying to come up with a ball-shaped dessert for our annual Christmas “Ball” and I became inspired by my dog Athena. I’ll spare you the details. These are easy and delicious, and a fun way to add some variety to your spread of Christmas goodies.

Ingredients

  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 4 cups Mini Marshmallows
  • 6 cups Rice Krispies
  • 14 ounces, weight Baker's Dipping Chocolate
  • ½ cups Powdered Sugar

Preparation

Start by making a batch of rice krispie treats using the following classic recipe: Melt the butter and marshmallows together in a large microwaveable bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval. Add the Rice Krispies and mix well.

To make the snowballs: Using your hands, roll spoonfuls of the Rice Krispie treat mixture into various sized balls.
Melt the dipping chocolate according to the package’s directions. Dip the Rice Krispie balls into the melted chocolate and place on a cookie sheet covered in wax paper. (You might find it necessary to freeze the balls for about 10-15 minutes if they are too soft to dip in the chocolate.) Once all of the balls have been dipped in chocolate, place in the freezer for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden.

Before serving, sprinkle with powdered sugar to resemble snow.

Can also be used with white dipping chocolate.

*If using the full Rice Krispie treat recipe, you will probably need two 7-ounce tubs of the Baker’s Dipping Chocolate. If cutting the recipe in half, one tub should be sufficient.
