SNOWBALL SURPRISE
At Christmastime when all the treats tend to be super sweet, it's nice to have a lightly sweet cookie. We love snowballs with their buttery shortbread, pecan flavor and a dusting of powdered sugar. Putting chocolate chunks in the center is a sweet surprise. We're pretty sure Santa (plus your family and friends) will love these.

Tips:
- To make the perfect snowball surprise, use a light and fluffy cake mix, such as angel food cake mix or white cake mix. This will ensure that the cake is delicate and airy, and will hold the filling well.
- Be careful not to overmix the cake batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough and dense.
- Use a variety of fillings to create different snowball surprises. Some popular fillings include chocolate ganache, whipped cream, fruit preserves, and ice cream.
- To create a smooth and even coating of chocolate, use a double boiler or a microwave to melt the chocolate. Do not boil the chocolate, as this will cause it to seize.
- If you are using a double boiler, place the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir the chocolate constantly until it is melted and smooth.
- If you are using a microwave, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat it on high power for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- To decorate the snowball surprises, use a variety of sprinkles, nonpareils, or chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
Snowball surprises are a delicious and festive treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own personal preferences. With a little creativity, you can create snowball surprises that are sure to impress your friends and family.
