When I was in my early teens, many long years ago, my Grandmother came from Winnipeg to spend Christmas with us. My Dad (it was his mother) begged his Mum to make snowballs. It was so funny to me to see my Dad a big strong adult begging his Mum for cookies. I never forgot it. And then one day I came home to find the kitchen table covered in snowballs and Gran whacking my Dad with a wooden spoon for sneaking one. Lovely memories.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Haha oh my I can picture your memory and your Gran whacking your Dad with the wooden spoon.....Bless you for sharing that story with us. I always say some of our fondness memories involve food.

Merry Christmas Bonita and Raymond from Florida! These are cooling in the fridge now and I did a taste test. Yum! Many years since I've had them. I used Carnation milk because I'm sure that's what my Mom used. I can't believe that your recipe doesn't have way more views!

[@Jasmine-ow9og]

I grew up on laborador and I never knew that snowballs were only east coast foods until I was unable to find them in ottawa. I really appreciate the video because I will be modifying it to make it vegan. THANKS!!!

[@bonitaskitchen]

This recipe goes back to our elders and made mostly at Christmas time, I'm glad you will be making them to suit your dietary needs, enjoy and have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Bonita

Thank you! I remember my mom and nan making these growing up and I'm making them with my kids today. Thought I did something wrong because the batter wouldn't roll up but I will put it in the fridge and see what happens!

Heather Schwarz thank you for your message and I'm glad you are going to give them a try, anytime you make these always put them in the fridge to cool and they will roll lovely. Let me know how they turn out for you, my boys loved them. Have a wonderful weekend. Bonita

@@bonitaskitchen I followed it to a tee, and they turned out incredibly well. I just had one this morning and it was better than I've ever had (sorry Nan!). Thank you so much for this! I shared the video with a few friends on twitter as well.

[@bonitaskitchen]

@@mbe102 Aww! That is so lovely, I love them frozen better then room temp. But I'm sure your Nan would forgive you. :) Thank you for following up with me and letting us know. :) Bonita

[@madonnadove]

Thanks for the recipe! My grandmother called them monkey balls. I got in trouble with a nun because she thought I was being cheeky! I never knew the real name. She made them on the coal stove.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Haha thats so funny and good name, they have so many different names, coco balls, coconut balls, and more of course. Sorry I'm just getting to your message I just noticed it today. Thank you for stopping by :) Bonita

[@trevoreastman8408]

I am assuming it should be refrigerated during the 2 hour cooling time. Is this correct?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Trevor Eastman, yes put them in your refrigerator for the two hours until cool and then you will be able to roll them easily. Thanks for your message. Bonita

[@lisaletto8675]

It´s great, but I wish we could see in the pot to see how each stage looks!

[@bonitaskitchen]

Lisa Letto Thank you for your message and for visiting my channel, sorry about that. When you take the mixture out of the fridge it is hard and you are able to roll them in your hands and then in the coconut. But the stage after its cooked is a little pasty and sticky, that's why you need to put the mixture in the fridge to set. I hope that helps and sorry we didn't have that shot. Bonita

[@honeyowen3163]

looking for rec, that is ground potato icing sugar rolled in choc then coconuts???

[@bonitaskitchen]

I'm sorry I don't have that one sounds interesting I hope you find it and please check out any of our recipes here or on www.bonitaskitchen.com I have potato Biscuits kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5uZioSZp5Z3mac this is the link.... :) Enjoy Bonita

hi, wife is asking if you have a video of home made fudge?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Rick and thank you for your message, I don't have any fudge recipes on our channel. I do have brownies kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHiVhoyXbrydf7c sorry about that. Have a wonderful day :) Bonita

[@WannodsPlace]

they look so yummy i wrote out ingredients so ill let u know how they turn out. i saw for a sec that u made dark rum fruit cake then my laptop went bonkers hahaha but when i got laptop back on now i cant find video, did u remove it?

[@karencarter7703]

Hi everyone. I just made those and i think i used too much margarine. I use the Parkay blocks of margarine. This called for 3/4 cup and i used 3 blocks. I think which is double. Please help. I have them cooling so may e i can fix this?

[@bonitaskitchen]

Hi Karen, If you wish you can add more ingredients like oats, coconut and that will dry the dough for you and then make the snowballs. I hope this helps and enjoy..Bonita

[@Sheldoncollier]

These are chokladbolls.

[@bonitaskitchen]

Yes they are almost the same, I think chokladbolls may have coffee in them I'm not sure. Growing up in Newfoundland years ago this was one childhood memory I have making them with my mom. Making snowballs at Christmas time was a big Newfoundland tradition most every home would have them. Thank you for visiting Bonita's Kitchen. Bonita
