Gifts from the Kitchen, Coconut Rum Snowball
I have been busy filling jars for gifts lately, and I couldn’t wait to share this one with you while there is still plenty of time to put these together
Dessert cheeseballs are always a fun addition to any gathering, and paired with this season’s cute Pepperidge Farm Christmas cookies, it is a festive presentation
Layer ingredients in a pint Ball jar
Add a tag with instructions, and you’ve got a great Gift from the Kitchen
Powdered sugar, sliced almonds, white chocolate chips, shredded coconut AND the secret ingredients, rum and coconut powder
Did you know you can get just about any flavor extract in a powder form?
I bought these from amazon.com here and here*
You can easily make tags in PicMonkey, I designed mine with 4 on a page. Or you can download the free printable of the front of the tag here. It will take you to another page that will have coconut rum snowball highlighted in green. Click on that and you will go to the printable page
Below is the back, you can design your own back or just write your message
I printed these tags on card stock, cut them to size, and used a hole punch to thread wired ribbon through
Festive, fun and delicious!
Make it in minutes by just mixing with softened cream cheese
Serve it with a cookie selection, graham crackers or apple or pear slices, or even strawberries
Make 1 or 12!

I have never tried a dessert cheeseball, but I must admit this sounds delicious. I, of course love coconut, so that might be why this really grabs my attention. I am thinking this might also be delicious on apples and celery, which might make it a tiny bit healthier! I have pinned this and will be sharin gover on FB and Twitter! Thank you so much for sharing over at Celebrate Your Story!
Thanks Chloe, and you’re right, it would be great on fruit! It’s on the rich side, but oh so good! >
Delicious sounding cheese ball, Jenna! Great gift, too.
Merry Christmas!
looks really nice Jenna! great job
You just introduced me to something new–those powders. Have you used them in any other ways? Just curious and trying to think of all the ways they could be used.
…another cute gift idea!
Judy
The powders can be substituted for any extract, 1 tsp powder to 1 tsp extract. They are a little pricey, but not when you compare the amount you get with powder verses those small bottles of extract. I made 14 snowball jars and still have a ton leftover~ thanks Judy! >
Sounds very tasty! I’ve never heard of the powdered extracts before and the gingerbread family cookies are cute too:@)
What an adorable gift Jenna! I wonder if that delicious snowball would last longer around here than a real one with our 70 degree temperatures 🙂 Powdered extracts are new to me, I would love to find a Red Velvet powder since I make such a mess with the liquid version.
Jenna, I love a sweet cheeseball! This one sounds yummy! Great recipe and gift ideas! Happy Monday!
Cute and easy for a lovely Christmas gift. I love the gifts in a jar! Dessert Cheeseballs are such a great idea and everyone loves them.
Wow…this sounds so tasty!
Thanks for joining Cooking and Crafting with J & J!
Yumarama!!! Can’t wait to try mine! Thanks Jenna! I even have the red square painted tray! Merry Christmas!
Oh that’s right!! I’m so glad!! So good to see you, see you on the coast one of these days! >
I would love to be on your Gift list! Thanks for sharing with us at Full Plate Thursday!
