If I'm craving a sno-ball, this is where I go. The ice is always smooth, there is plenty of juice,…read moreand there's a bunch of flavors to choose from. They also serve chips, nachos, pickles and some candy. Sometimes there is a long line because it is directly across the street from the Chalmette High School baseball and softball fields, but they work pretty quickly to get everyone served. There are several tables to sit at and enjoy your sno-ball or you can upsize your cup to take it with you in your car.

My wife got out to get our snowballs we were rushing to get home. I usually get Spearmint with condensed milk, and the wife gets different combos every time. I wanted a kiddy sized cup since i can't have allot or i get sick but they only had 2 sized cups neither small, but it was ok because it was really good. They make most if not all of there own syrups and have a large variety to choose from. There ice was pretty good, i like mine a little finer but still pretty good. It had a great flavor and my wife loved hers. I heard they make a good Chocolate snowball. I would recommend them when your in Chalmette i would have given 5 stars but the lack of Small sized cups and parking can be an issue if there is a game or event going on.

I'm writing this as a real fan because Chance in Hell is easily one of the most creative and…read moreflavorful snoball stands in the city. Everybody always says Hansen's is the best, but I'm sorry... they just can't compete with Chance in Hell, no matter what anyone says. Handcrafted syrups, quality ingredients, and that ice... listen. If you're really from New Orleans, you KNOW the difference between a snoball and a snow cone. That ice is so fine, so soft, it literally melts in your mouth. You really be like, "What ICE?!" It's up there, for real. And the space? Baby... it's a whole experience. Perfectly curated to their brand. Very show-stopping, very show girl, all the drama in the best way. It's beautiful, it's fun, it's a vibe. It is more on the pricier side. With the quality of the Snoball. The difference is in the details. Honestly, they're one of the main reasons we surviving this heat. There really is a Chance in Hell lol.

I am soooo behind on this one but I need to write them a proper review! I know this isn't the…read moreoriginal snowball place that most people may recommend but it was worth the visit ! I am used to snowballs being somewhat fine chunks of ice that have a ton of syrup glazed over it and maybe some bites have too much syrup or not enough syrup. And sometimes if I'm in the mood might have some marshmallows so this might give you an idea of where I'm from but the snowballs a chance in hell snowballs were on a whole different level. The ice is so fine the moment it touches your tongue it literally just melts. I opted for the Ube flavor in typically because of the syrup, I usually get more thirsty after I'm done eating snowballs, but with this one, it was so refreshing. I can only imagine the sensation if I were eating this on a hot summer day. They had some unique flavors and my husband my mother-in-law and I all got different flavors that we tried each other others and I can't say anything wrong about any of them. They were well balanced somehow the savory flavors worked as a dessert and I can't wait till the next time I can go back. Something I learned on this trip is that snowballs here are available from Mardi Gras until around Halloween so just something for you to note if you are traveling, but I was told that they do pop-ups here and there a little outside of the season. Their overall service was amazing. They are very friendly, very knowledgeable and had great recommendations. So if you're in the area, I highly recommend.

Another snowball season is upon us, so once again my boyfriend and I are sampling as many Westbank…read moresnowball stands as we can. Why should the Eastbank have all the fun? We started this journey last year and, now that the stands are open again, we wasted no time exploring what the Westbank has to offer. D suggested this little stand in Belle Chasse that I didn't even know existed. Apparently it's located right next door to the famed Big Jake's sandwich shop, which is super convenient if you're in the mood for something sweet after enjoying your Big Jake burger. This stand is cash only and has a pretty diverse menu. I got a rainbow snowball (my fave) and D got a king cake snowball. Right away I knew we had a problem: the ice was chunky and this snowball was seriously lacking syrup- you can even see it in my picture. However, I didn't think that my snowball was all that bad, even though it did start to lose flavor towards the end. D didn't even finish his and said that it tasted nothing like king cake. Meh. There's some picnic tables under a covered porch for sitting on warmer days. While I wouldn't skip this stand if I was in the area, it wouldn't be my first pick for a snowball.

as long as I've been a NOLA resident I had never had the pleasure of having a snowball! Unheard of…read moreI know! Today I was lost and stopped for directions and just so happen I was here!
