Snawbaws! That's Glaswegian for "snowballs" by the way

Oozy Snawbaws, You know you wanna lick the ooze. Do it. I won't tell.

Hello one and all.
This here recipe is inspired by the frosty Kingdom of the North.
Yeah, that's right.! GLASGOW.

Be that as it may, it's actually really sunny right now. GASP!
I may get my yearly recommended dose of Vitamin D yet.

The little oozy balls (or baws as we say) above are made of chocolate cake covered in coconut with raspberry marshmallow filling.
Dang they were tasty.

Here's a fitting frosty video by Immortal to get you in the mood.
I  did not wear corpse paint while making the baws.
In hindsight, I wish I had.

Just for the record, when I first read the title for the video I thought it said "Grim and Frostbitten Kittens".
Now that would make a good video.





Snawbaws

Makes 12

Ingredients

1 jar raspberry marshmallow fluff
300g chocolate cake. You can make your own or buy it in if you can't be bothered.
250g buttercream. Again, you can make this yourself or buy it in.
200g desecrated (har har, I feel I have made this joke before?) coconut

First you want to put your marshmallow fluff in the freezer. Preferably overnight but a couple of hours will suffice.

Next, get your choc cake and break it up into a bowl and crumble with your fingers till you get fine crumbs.

Mix the buttercream with the chocolate crumbs till combined and mouldable. You can make rude shapes with it as this point for fun if you feel the need. Then divide into 12 equal balls.

Put your coconut onto a flat plate.

Get your marshmallow fluff out the freezer and using a teaspoon get 12 blobs. Roll the blobs in your hands till you get something resembling a ball. You can dust your hands with icing sugar to stop it from sticking to your hands.

Grab a ball of choc cake mix and flatten it in your hand. Place the marshmallow fluff ball in the middle and press the chocolate cake mix around it. If you don't cover it all they will get a bit oozy like the ones I made but they still taste great.

When covered, roll the balls in the coconut, place onto a plate or tray. When all the balls are made cover with cling film and put into the fridge for about an hour.

They are great with coffee. Even better with Long Island Ice Tea. Hee hee.

Apologies for the poor quality photo. I'd had a lot of Long island Iced Tea.
