Pineapple Coconut Snowballs Recipes

Steps:

• 3. Mix the frosting: Prepare 2 boxes of Dream Whip according to directions on the box and add in 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract. You may need less frosting given that vanilla wafers are made so small these days (they were a lot bigger when I first made this recipe 55 yrs. ago!).
