yummy goof balls
I made this dozens of times. Children helped, and now grandchildren help make this. Over 30 years ago, my brother's soon-to-be wife, who was in college majoring in home economics, made me a version of Goof Balls. Children have fun helping with this, too. Coat them with your choice of sugar. They are hot, so use a paper bag to shake or tongs to roll around in sugar. You could bake these, too. They are good, just plain also.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Sweet, fluffy, and flaky, these remind us of a stuffed beignet. The dough fries up like a doughnut, and the center is a nice surprise. The marshmallow melts with the chocolate chips, making a gooey filling. They actually smell like a doughnut while cooking. We opted to sprinkle with powdered sugar. Granulated sugar would also be great. Best served warm, these are a sweet breakfast option or a fun dessert.
Ingredients
- 1 can biscuits
- 30 mini-marshmallows
- 30 chocolate chips or butterscotch chips
