Let it snow!



It is almost too late, but I think it's never really too late for cookies, so I am posting one of our family's favorite Christmas cookie recipes today - one that happens to be my favorite recipe anywhere, hands down. It's a bit rich, but quick and easy, and everyone I've ever fed it to has loved it. So here goes:

Snowballs
1 cup chocolate chips
1/3 cup evaporated milk
1 1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
coconut

Combine chocolate and milk in a saucepan over medium heat until chocolate has melted and mixture has combined. Remove from stove and stir in powdered sugar and walnuts. Let cool in the refrigerator for half an hour or so. Spooning out teaspoon-sized clumps, form them into ping pong ball-sized balls, and roll in coconut. Put back in the fridge for a few hours until you can pick them up without getting chocolaty. Enjoy!

It's basically the world's easiest homemade nut fudge, with bonus coconut. These are long gone from our house. Maybe it's time to make more?
