There is not many snowballs that could withstand the heat of a chip shop fryer.
But a Stonehaven chip shop has successfully put that theory to the test.
However, the snowball in question is more the marshmallow, coconut and chocolate variety rather than the kind you throw at your friends.
Yes, the inventors of the deep-fried Mars bar, the Carron Fish Bar, have now turned their attention to another tasty treat for an unlikely festively-fried snack.
The idea for the deep-fried snowball came from an unlikely source – Scottish singer Eddi Reader – when she visited the Allardice Street chipper last year and asked if they had it on the menu.
A specialist in seasonal snacks, the shop has previously sold deep-fried Creme Eggs at Easter time.
