Ingredients

The following ingredients have 30 Servings
  • 1/2 cup butter, (softened)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 1/2 cups unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 3 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 15 ounce store-bought boxed chocolate cake mix

Instruction

  • In a saucepan, gently bring to a simmer, the butter, sugar, and milk. Do not allow the mixture to come to a boil. Once the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, remove the saucepan from the heat.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together 3 1/2 cups of the coconut (set aside one cup for rolling the snowballs into later), chocolate cake mix, and rolled oats.
  • Poor the cooled butter mixture over the dry ingredients, and using a wooden spoon or spatula, mix the ingredients together until well incorporated.
  • The mixture will look gooey. Place the bowl into the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours.
  • Place the remaining one cup of coconut into a shallow, wide-set bowl. When the mixture has had time to set, use a small cookie scoop to portion out equal amounts of the cookie mixture. Roll the mixture into balls. Coat the balls in the remaining coconut by gently rolling the ball around.
  • Keep refrigerated. These snowballs are freezer friendly as well. Enjoy!
