1 cup uncooked quick oats

1 ½ cups confectionery sugar, divided

2 tablespoons cocoa

¼ cup cream (or whole milk)

1 cup butter (or margarine)

Use a fork to combine the oats and 1 ¼ cups sugar in a bowl. In a separate large bowl mix together cream, cocoa and butter. Stir oats/sugar into large bowl mixture. Shape into 30 balls. Roll into remaining confectionery sugar to coat balls. Place on wax paper lined tray and refrigerate at least 30 minutes. Enjoy the snow balls of the Winter Crone, then store leftovers in the refrigerator. These are very rich, so only eat a few at a time.
