Scale
Ingredients
- 2 (12 oz) bags white chocolate chips
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 1 1/2 cups shredded coconut
- 1 1/2 cups rice krispie cereal
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate: Add the white chocolate chips to the slow cooker and turn it on to the low setting. Let the chocolate melt slowly for 30 minutes, then stir well to ensure even melting. Continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Mix Ingredients: Once the chocolate is melted, add the slivered almonds, shredded coconut, and rice krispie cereal to the slow cooker. Stir thoroughly to combine all ingredients evenly, coating the nuts, coconut, and cereal with melted white chocolate.
- Prepare for Scooping: Keep the slow cooker on low to maintain the melted state of the chocolate as you proceed to scoop the mixture. This prevents the white chocolate from hardening prematurely, making it easier to shape the snowballs.
- Form Snowballs: Using a greased cookie scoop, portion out the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or a large cutting board. Shape each scoop into a round snowball shape as desired.
- Cool and Store: Allow the snowballs to cool completely at room temperature until they harden. Once cooled and set, store the snowballs in an airtight container to maintain freshness and enjoy within a week.
Notes
- Be sure to keep the slow cooker on low during the scooping process to prevent the white chocolate from solidifying.
- If you prefer, you can chill the snowballs briefly in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
- For a nut-free option, omit the slivered almonds and add more cereal or coconut for texture.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
