Snowballs

Snowballs are so fun and festive during the holiday season. These make adorable teachers’ gifts or sweet treats for the mailman or your favorite neighbor. Package them in clear plastic boxes and tie them with a festive ribbon. Elizabeth Heiskell also makes them for her annual Joy to the Girls party in celebration of her closest friends.
