FAQs
Can I use a different nut butter?
Yes! Almond or peanut butter would work well, though it may change the taste slightly.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Definitely. Store the finished snowman cake balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
What if I don’t have almond extract?
The almond extract enhances the cake flavor but is optional. Vanilla extract can be used for a milder taste.
