Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prep the Slow Cooker
Lightly grease your slow cooker insert with butter or nonstick spray. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easy.
2. Prepare the Snowballs
Separate the biscuit dough into individual pieces. Roll each piece into a small ball, about 1 inch in diameter.
3. Coat in Cinnamon Sugar
In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and cinnamon. Roll each dough ball in the mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
4. Arrange in the Slow Cooker
Place the coated dough balls in the slow cooker, stacking them slightly but leaving some space to allow even cooking.
5. Pour Melted Butter
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the dough balls. This helps them cook to a golden, gooey perfection.
6. Cook
Cover and cook on low for 2–2.5 hours or until the dough is fully cooked and soft. Avoid opening the lid too often to maintain heat.
7. Add Powdered Sugar or Glaze
Once cooked, you can sprinkle the snowballs with powdered sugar for a classic “snowy” look. For extra indulgence, mix powdered sugar with milk and drizzle as a sweet glaze.
8. Serve Warm
Slow Cooker Snowballs are best enjoyed fresh and warm. They’re perfect with a cup of coffee, hot cocoa, or just on their own.
Tips for Perfect Slow Cooker Snowballs
-
Even Cooking: Place the dough balls in a single layer as much as possible for consistent cooking.
-
Flavor Variations: Add a sprinkle of nutmeg or pumpkin spice to the cinnamon sugar for seasonal flair.
-
Cheesy Twist: For a dessert with a surprise, place a small cube of cream cheese inside each dough ball before cooking.
-
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container and gently reheated in the microwave.
Slow Cooker Snowballs are a simple, indulgent dessert that transforms ordinary biscuit dough into something magical. Warm, sweet, and irresistibly soft, they’re the kind of treat that brings smiles, cozy vibes, and a touch of nostalgia to every table.
