Nut free coconut snowballs
Easy, delicious and healthy, these coconut snowballs are packed full of nutritious ingredients. They’re also nut free making them perfect for school lunch boxes. I love to make these at Christmas time as they look a bit like little snowballs but they’re equally as delicious all year round.
