🔪 How to Make Snowman Truffles
In a large bowl, mix the coconut, condensed milk, and vanilla and stir until well mixed.
Use a cookie scoop to make 12 large balls and form in the shape of a ball. Roll each ball in extra coconut to coat the outside. Repeat to make 12 slightly smaller balls for the heads of the snowmen, also rolling in coconut.
Melt the white chocolate in the microwave to use as “glue.” Place a little bit of melted chocolate between the base and the head of the snowmen to connect them. Let them dry
Decorate the snowman with the M&M’s. Break the cinnamon sticks for arms, and wrap the candy belts around as scarves.
Quarter the brown m&m’s to use as eyes. If they do not stick, dip them in the melted white chocolate and press them into the snowman.
Remove cinnamon stick arms before eating, and enjoy!

💭 Tips
- Make sure to finely shred the coconut for a uniform texture, making it easier to shape the truffles.
- Chill the mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping the truffles to prevent them from becoming too sticky to handle.
- When decorating, use tweezers or small tongs to place the tiny details like the mini M&M’s or candy belts more precisely.
- Allow the truffles to set completely after dipping in white chocolate before adding additional decorations to avoid smudging.
⁉️ FAQ
Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.
Absolutely! If you prefer a richer flavor, you can use milk or dark chocolate chips. However, the appearance and sweetness of the truffles will change slightly depending on the type of chocolate used.
To keep the mixture from sticking, lightly grease your cookie scooper or hands (If you are using your hands) with a neutral oil or simply wet them with a bit of water before shaping the truffles.
