Do you love coconut as much as I do? If you do, then these Rice Krispie Coconut Snowballs are going to make you smile. The Rice Krispies become this sugary coconut delivery system. What could be more perfect?
Now, my husband, he completely dislikes coconut. It kills me! I don’t know how he lives…(he’ll love that I said that too). I guess he could never live in the South with all the amazing Coconut Cream Pie he’d have to turn down. And then there’s the most amazing Coconut Cake I’ve ever made. Swoon! He’ll never know what he’s missing. More for me.
This is truly a quick and easy recipe, perfect for the cookie platter. The sugary whipped egg whites keep the mixture together, letting you form the mixture into little snowballs.
During a holiday season so full of red and green, the snow white color is a welcome reprieve. It gives balance to the Christmas crazy that can sometimes take over the house. I find these cookies to be an elegant reminder of the serenity of wintertime.
Coconut love!!

THANK YOU!
Margaret says
It’s not that I’m “old school”, but I use the print function to save recipes in PDF on my SD card. The card is easy to transfer from one computer to another, and doesn’t depend upon wifi, which is not always available when I travel.

I doubled the recipe and the second batch are in the oven right now. They are delicious! Definitely something different to break up all the heaviness of the other holiday treats I made (fudge and Oreo balls). Thanks Cathy!
Daveen says
Made these today added a ltlle vanilla to the egg whites and they turned out great!
Luci says
Can’t wait to try! Any left overs? Can they be frozen?
Cathy says
Hmmm, I have not frozen them.
Kathy says
Hi – I am making these for Christmas Eve! How long will they keep? Thank you!
Cathy says
Just like Rice Krispie treats they are best when served soon after making them.
