Snowballs No Bake Truffles are such a fun and cute treat! The kids can help make them AND eat them!

You know, I love a great no bake ball or truffle. I love making them and my kids LOVE eating them. So to come up with something new I thought about it - one of my sons favorite desserts always includes some sort of coconut.that got my wheels going! Snowballs No Bake Truffles came from him and these are his NEW FAVORITE. I can't blame him, they are amazing!!

How do you make no bake balls easy? Let me give you a few tips:

Wax paper always makes clean up a breeze. When I make the balls I immediately place them on wax covered cookie sheets!
Freezing or refrigerating dough - this isn't really optional. You need that dough cold or making balls is well.not easy.
Picking a fun color. I guess this isn't necessary - but it's fun. This batch I made these blue for fun, but they could have been any color.

I believe that for any party, the dessert table should have some good nibbling food. Maybe I don't always need a big piece of cake, but I do love a little sweet bite. Snowballs No Bake Truffles are perfect for this. You can pop a truffle in your mouth and keep moving. It's a great party dessert. ALSO don't forget these are great for a class party! Kids LOVE them.
