Growing up my mom would go on a baking spree in December. The countertop would be covered with tins, and Tupperware filled with a bounty of holiday treats. I’m talking like two types of fudge (peanut butter was my favorite), those saltine cracker toffee cookies, puppy chow, spritz cookies and of course one of my favorites SNOWBALLS! I wish I could have had the chance to re create all of my favorites but when its just you and your fiancé at home, the sweets last a lot longer than a family of 5! I also thought this one would be easy to veganize, and it was!
These little babies are sooo simple to make and take no time at all. You can use walnuts or pecans inside (although I think pecans might be the traditional way to make them,) I used walnuts because my mom always used walnuts 🙂
I hope you love these as much as I do! Happy holidays!! Enjoy! xx
