What makes No Bake Tropical Nilla Wafer Bites so good? Tart and sweet orange flavor from orange juice with sweetened coconut.
These cute little no bake Nilla Wafer bites look like little snowballs. And since winter is already here, I thought it would be fun to add them to our fall treat menu. Truth be told, we live in Florida so these are the only snowballs we are going to see.
It really doesn’t matter where you live, your friends and family will love these. They are an easy, make-ahead dessert. You can even make them in advance and freeze them for a couple of weeks. They make a perfect after-school snake that the kids can just grab out of the freezer.
