These look great and are probably the only kind of snowball we’ll see in Arkansas for awhile. Knock on wood.
Thanks Greg! We haven’t seen snow in awhile here, and when we do it’s not enough to even make a snow ball π
Yay for snowballs π Better make sure you don’t get confused and throw them at someone though… that would be a shame π They sound like great little after dinner treats! Have a happy Christmas π
Thanks Charles, don’t worry there’s no confusion in TX snowballs from real snow…b/c there is no real snow π Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Pure holiday delight. π
