Delightful No-Heat Sweets
We stumbled upon these adorable cookie balls at a Christmas gathering and they've been a hit with our family ever since. The goofy title always cracks people up, especially the little ones, and they're great for making as a team.
Skip The Oven
My kids and I whip these up during summer when it's too warm to use the oven. You'll find all the stuff in your cupboard, and everyone loves getting their hands messy while rolling them.
Just Five Basic Items
- Graham crackers: Smash them until powdery.
- Chocolate chips: The semi-sweet kind cuts the sweetness.
- Marshmallows: Small fresh ones work best.
- Coconut: Go for the unsweetened type.
- Condensed milk: Use the whole can.

How To Prepare
- Chill Time
- Stick them in the fridge to set up nicely.
- Roll Away
- Form into balls the kiddos adore this step.
- Get Sticky
- Add that sweet milk and stir thoroughly.
- Mix It Up
- Throw dry stuff together in a large bowl.
Handy Hints
Cool the mix before you start rolling to avoid sticky fingers. Grab an ice cream scoop for matching sizes. Store in the cold so they don't lose their shape.
Try These Twists
Coat them in shredded coconut or cocoa for something different. Toss in some crushed nuts for extra bite. Switch to butterscotch morsels to change the taste.
Storage Smarts
They'll stay good in your fridge for seven days or in the freezer for up to three months. Always eat them cold for the yummiest texture.
