These snowballs are the perfect size for a party. They're small enough to eat in one or two bites, so you can easily have a few without feeling too full.

I'm not a big fan of ginger, so I omitted it from the recipe. The snowballs were still very good, but I think they would have been even better with the ginger.

These snowballs are so easy to make, even my kids can help. They love rolling the dough into balls and coating them in powdered sugar.

I made these snowballs gluten-free by using gluten-free flour. They turned out just as good as the regular version.

I had a hard time finding macadamia nuts, so I used pecans instead. They turned out great! I think the pecans added a nice nutty flavor to the snowballs.

These snowballs were a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. They were still very good and I would definitely make them again.
