Introduction
Snowballs are the easiest “fancy” dessert: mix a few pantry ingredients, roll into bites, chill, dip, drizzle, done.
The peanut butter center is smooth and sweet, the chocolate shell adds that satisfying snap, and caramel ties it all
together like a candy-bar finish. Make them for parties, gifts, or a hidden fridge treat you “accidentally” keep for yourself.
