If you grew up on the East coast of Canada, you’re definitely familiar with snow. However, Newfoundland snowballs have nothing to do with snow — they’re an iconic treat made of chocolate fudge, coconut and oats that are rolled into delicious balls. We add a little espresso powder to make this classic childhood treat a little more adult-worthy. They’re so decadent, soft and chewy, anyone will enjoy them.
ingredients
directions
In a large pot combine butter, milk and sugar and heat over high. Once mixture begins to foam reduce heat to medium, and continue to cook until a candy thermometer reads 230°F. Remove from heat.
Stir in cocoa powder, espresso powder, oats, and half the coconut. Stir to combine.
Chill in refrigerator until mixture is firm and cool, about 30 minutes.
Once mixture is cool, roll into about 1 1/2-inch balls.
Roll balls in remaining coconut. Serve immediately or store in refrigerator.
