What exactly is 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop?

4 Ingredient Snowman Poop is a fun, no-bake holiday treat made from powdered sugar, shredded coconut, and sweetened condensed milk, often dusted with edible glitter or more powdered sugar. It's named for its whimsical appearance and is particularly popular with children for its humorous name and simple preparation.

Can I make 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop ahead of time?

Yes, absolutely! 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop is perfect for making ahead. You can prepare them up to a week in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This makes them a great option for holiday parties or gifts.

Are there any substitutions if I don't like coconut in my 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop?

While shredded coconut is a key ingredient for both texture and flavor in traditional 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop, you could try finely grinding it in a food processor to reduce its impact. For a completely different texture, some people have experimented with finely crushed vanilla wafers or almond meal, though this will significantly alter the original recipe's taste and texture.

Why do my 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop treats feel too sticky?

If your 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop mixture is too sticky, it might be due to not enough powdered sugar or insufficient chilling time. Try adding a little more powdered sugar (a tablespoon at a time) to the mixture until it's more manageable. Also, ensure you chill them for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator, as this helps them firm up considerably.

Instructions

Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sifted powdered sugar and shredded coconut. Mix well to ensure the coconut is evenly distributed.
Step 2: Pour in the entire can of sweetened condensed milk. Using a sturdy spoon or spatula, mix vigorously until a thick, sticky dough forms. Continue mixing until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is firm enough to roll.
Step 3: Lightly grease your hands with butter or non-stick spray, or dampen them with water. Scoop out small portions of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon each. Roll them into irregular, 'poop-like' shapes, or perfect small snowballs if preferred. Place each piece onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
Step 4: Sprinkle the formed pieces with edible glitter or extra powdered sugar for a festive, 'snowy' finish. This makes your 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop sparkle.
Step 5: Refrigerate the baking sheet with the treats for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the 'snowman poop' to firm up and become perfectly chewy, making them easier to handle and store. Serve chilled and enjoy the giggles!

Notes

For best results, make sure your hands are lightly greased or dampened when rolling the mixture to prevent sticking. Store any leftover 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. These treats are naturally gluten-free!
