Everyone has a favorite holiday video. Maybe you watch It’s a Wonderful Life each year. Or Elf (I love the part where he eats spaghetti topped with syrup and candy).
I watch Alec Baldwin’s SNL classic: Schweddy Balls.
A few weeks ago I made Cookie Dough Balls (based on Angela’s recipe at Oh She Glows). They were amazing, and I couldn’t wait to try out my own interpretation(s).
Without further ado…
…in the spirit of tasty balls
…I give you:
S’more Cookie Dough Balls
Dipped in dark chocolate and topped with graham cracker crumbles.
By the time they cooled enough to take pictures, I had lost a couple of balls!

Keywords: raw dessert gluten-free vegan vegetarian cashews dates chocolate chips oatmeal Christmas healthy winter fall
Ingredients (15 balls)
- 2/3 C raw, unsalted cashews
- 1/4 C oats
- 1/2 C spelt flour (can sub other flour)
- 1/4 C graham crackers (smashed into a rough crumble)
- 1 tsp sea salt

Instructions
Place cashews and oats in food processor until finely crumbled. Add in the flour, graham crackers, kosher salt, and roughly chopped dates. Process until fine.
Add vanilla and maple syrup. Blend until the mixture comes together in a ball. Manually stir in marshmallow fluff. If too crumbly, add more syrup or a tiny bit of water.
Stir in the 3-4 T of chopped dark chocolate. Roll into balls (about 2 tsp in size).
In a double boiler or microwave, melt 1/3 cup of dark chocolate in a small bowl. Now dip each ball into the chocolate and place on baking sheet. Sprinkle balls with crumbled graham crackers.
Freeze for 1 hour or overnight to set.

I have to brave the mall to finish some Christmas shopping. Christmas Eve is like amateur day at the mall… hopefully it won’t be too bad yet tonight.
Is everyone else done with their shopping?
What a great idea! Those look super yummy 🙂
And no, I have not finished my shopping!! Whoops.
I absolutely love the idea of S’more balls! The recipe sounds fairly simple to put together last minute too!
It really is – I love anything that you can just toss in a blender!
I love that last pic with the Santa cookie jar. Too cute! I am way into balls these days (the jokes never get old. knee slapping ensues) and would love to give these a go too. I know they’re not cake balls, but I am really into these bite sized delish treats lately!
LOL! No, it doesn’t get old.
I am the same way – bite-sized food is so much more fun. And you get seconds and thirds. 🙂
Yumola..those look and sound so very good. Thank you so much for sharing. I wish for you a blessed and beautiful Christmas Eve.
