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.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
These were sweet, fluffy, flaky and oh so good. They smelled like donuts while cooking! Everyone kept asking "what are you cooking?" We tried baking these too, but preferred them fried (fried always wins!). They would be great for a bake sale, after-school snack and would look pretty on a holiday dessert table. If you want to try baking, I baked them at 350 for 20 minutes on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, middle rack of the oven.

How To Make yummy goof balls
-
Step 1Heat oil for deep frying. Press out each biscuit.
-
Step 2Place 3 mini-marshmallows and 3 chips in the middle.
-
Step 3Fold sides up and pinch together to seal.
-
Step 4Fry until all sides are golden. Drain.
-
Step 5Coag the "Goof Balls" with the sugar of choice. They are hot so use a paper bag to shake or tongs to roll around in sugar. You could bake these and they are good just plain also.
