Say “I love you” with a batch of these ADORABLE mini coconut snowball cupcakes! Perfect for your Valentine.

Tiny flakes of coconut are not only in the cupcake batter, that they also coat the fluffy vanilla buttercream. A snowball you will surely want to eat!
My husband, who is not a fan of coconut, loved these cupcakes! I think it’s because the coconut used in this recipe is so light that you don’t get those large shavings of coconut. Plus, it looks like powdery white snow. These mini cupcakes are just about as cute as can be, if you ask me.
