Rocky Road Snowballs (Gluten-Free)

Enlist your favourite helping hands to roll these delights and coat them in coconut. For a nut-free variation, replace walnuts with chopped glazed cherries.   Servings: 75 snowballs *  I don't know how many my batch made because the husband ate half the pan while I was at work, before they got rolled.

Ingredients:

    1-1/2 cups (375 mL) chopped walnuts 1 cup (250 mL) mini-marshmallows 
    1-1/2 cups (375 mL) shredded sweetened coconut

Preparation:

In bowl over saucepan of simmering water, melt together semisweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips and cream cheese, stirring occasionally, until very thick. Remove from heat; stir in walnuts and marshmallows. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.

Roll by scant 1 tbsp (15 mL) into balls; roll each in coconut. Place on waxed paper-lined baking sheet; refrigerate until hardened, about 1 hour. (Make-ahead: Refrigerate in airtight container for up to 5 days.)
