The user generated code snippets are saved in

~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/CodeSnippets

And you can simply pass them around to save and restore them. I recommend giving them a meaningful name instead of the generated one.

I wrote a short explanation about it here, and also started a collection of useful code snippets that can be shared on github. There are still very little snippets there, so any useful snippets you have to share would be great.

I do have more code snippets in Xcode, than files in the CodeSnippet folder. Where are the rest saved?

These last 2 code snippets where from the versions folder /.DocumentRevisions-V100. Old versions of changed snippets where shown in Xcode (a bug).
