Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 16 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
  • Mini chocolate chips (for the eyes and buttons)
  • Orange sprinkle or candy (for the nose)
  • Mini pretzel sticks (for the arms)
  • Optional: Melted dark chocolate (for additional decorating)

How to Make Snowman Oreo Balls

  1. Crush the Oreos:
    • Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. Alternatively, if you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Then, mix until well combined and smooth. The mixture should have a dough-like consistency.
  3. Form the Balls:
    • Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into small balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For snowmen, make both larger and smaller balls (for the body and the head). Next, freeze for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
  4. Dip in White Chocolate:
    • Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval until smooth. Once melted, dip each Oreo ball into the chocolate, using a fork to help coat evenly. Let the excess drip off, and place back on the parchment paper.
  5. Assemble the Snowmen:
    • While the coating is still wet, carefully stack a smaller Oreo ball on top of a larger one to form the snowman shape. Additionally, use the melted chocolate to “glue” them together.
  6. Decorate the Snowmen:
    • Before the coating sets, press two mini chocolate chips into the top Oreo ball to create the snowman’s eyes. Afterward, add another three mini chocolate chips down the front of the larger Oreo ball for buttons. For the nose, use an orange sprinkle or a small piece of orange candy. Lastly, insert mini pretzel sticks into the sides of the larger Oreo ball to create the snowman’s arms.
  7. Let the Snowmen Set:
    • Allow the snowmen to sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate has completely set. If desired, use melted dark chocolate to add additional details, like a smile or a scarf.

Tips for Perfect Snowman Oreo Balls

  • Chill Before Dipping: Make sure the Oreo balls are firm and well-chilled before dipping them in white chocolate. This helps them maintain their shape.
  • Use a Toothpick for Precision: Use a toothpick to place the mini chocolate chips or sprinkle noses for more precise decorating.
  • Get Creative with Decorations: Add mini marshmallow hats, scarves made from fondant, or use edible markers to draw on extra details.

These Snowman Oreo Balls are the perfect treat for bringing a little holiday cheer into your kitchen. In addition, serve them at your next holiday party or wrap them up as a cute edible gift—they’re sure to melt hearts!
