With all the talk of snow in the forecast, and on the ground for that matter, I have started craving my Papaw’s Homemade Snow Cream that he used to make for all us grandkids every time that it would snow. He would walk out to the front porch and gather all the clean top fallen snow and make one of the most delicious treats you could ever ask for. So this got me thinking, what other foods can be made using snow as a main ingredient and are they nearly as amazing as I imagine them to be? So, I did my research and well, here ya go! Here are 6 Snacks You Can Make Using Snow:
1. Snow Cream: Down here in Kentucky, Snow Cream is a must-have for the PERFECT Snow Day. Need a great recipe? Check this one out.
