Coconut Snowballs

So yesterday I may have said how much I loathe the snow. Well, I take it back, because even though we had about eight inches dumped on us, I had a snow day! So instead of going to work, naturally I had to make "snowballs."


The best part about these are you don't even have to go outside in the freezing cold to enjoy them. And unlike real snowballs, I wouldn't be mad at all if someone threw a bunch of these at my head. Just aim for my mouth, please.

But honestly, how adorable are these.

I modified this recipe from one I saw on Instagram. Thanks to FitFoodFocused for the inspiration!
