A Brief Snoball History

Snoballs. Sno-balls. Snowballs. It doesn’t matter how you spell it. Just don’t call it a snow cone – because that’s something different and nowhere near as good. Found in every neighborhood, snoball stands are seasonal, open when the weather gets warm and the demand spikes.

The snoball is the quintessential New Orleans treat – dessert, snack, parental bribe, weekend ritual and perfect antidote to heat and humidity. They give you brain freeze, color your lips and sometimes your shirt, but most of all, they make you happy.
