I'm allergic to coconut. Can I use a different ingredient instead?

I love the idea of these coconut snowballs, but I wish the recipe included more detailed instructions. I'm not sure how to make the coconut mixture or how to coat the balls in chocolate.

These coconut snowballs are so cute! But they're a little too messy to eat. I think I'll try making them with a different coating next time.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my coconut snowballs didn't turn out right. They were too dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These coconut snowballs are a little too sweet for my taste, but they're still pretty good. I think I'll try using a different chocolate next time.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so cute! I used a small cookie scoop to make the balls, and I think that helped them to be a uniform size. I also used a variety of sprinkles to decorate them, which made them even more festive.

These coconut snowballs were a hit at my holiday party! They're so easy to make and they taste delicious. I used a combination of white and dark chocolate for dipping, and I added some chopped nuts to the coconut mixture for a little extra crunch.
