Next time you’re in Metairie, be sure to swing by Casey’s Snowballs at 4608 W Esplanade Ave. The chocolate snowball is my favorite and it’s particularly good when topped with either whipped cream or vanilla ice cream (I’m not a fan of condensed milk on snowballs). Casey’s also offers up the “traditional” New Orleans snowball flavors, frozen yogurt, soft-serve ice cream. The prices seem to go up almost every year, but with prices ranging from $1.00 to just over $2.00 a snowball, it’s still a cheap treat for a hot summer day. What’s your favorite snowball flavor??

Chocolate–It’s what I always get.

Meanwhile, $1.25 can’t get out from under the lemon-lime.
