Tips:
- Use fresh marshmallows for the best texture and flavor. Refrigerated marshmallows are easier to handle.
- If you don't have any coconut extract, you can substitute vanilla extract.
- Make sure the melted butter is not too hot before adding it to the marshmallows. Otherwise, the marshmallows will melt completely and you won't be able to form the snowballs.
- If the marshmallow mixture is too sticky to handle, you can chill it in the fridge for a few minutes before rolling it into balls.
- Be careful not to overcook the snowballs in the oven. They should be just set, but not browned.
- For a fun variation, you can add sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips to the coating before rolling the snowballs in it.
