Can I freeze snowman Oreo balls?

Yes! Snowman Oreo balls freeze beautifully. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze initially, then transfer them to an airtight container with parchment between layers. They’ll keep for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving for the best texture and appearance.

Can I make snowman Oreo balls ahead of time?

Absolutely. These no-bake treats are perfect for making in advance. You can prepare and decorate them up to 5 days ahead and store them in the fridge. Just keep them in an airtight container so they stay fresh and festive.

What type of Oreos work best for snowman Oreo balls?

Regular Oreos (not Double Stuf or Mega Stuf) are best for this recipe. Too much filling can make the mixture too soft to roll or coat properly. You can also use flavored Oreos like Peppermint or Gingerbread for a holiday twist, but always use about 45 cookies per batch for the right consistency.

Instructions

Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set aside.
Add Oreo cookies to a food processor and blend into fine crumbs.
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add Oreo crumbs to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined.
Use a 1.5-inch cookie scoop to form balls. Roll each one smooth and place on the tray.
Refrigerate the Oreo balls for 2 hours to firm up.
Melt 1/4 cup of candy melts. Dab a small amount on each mini Oreo half and press a Rolo on top to form hats. Let set.
Melt remaining white candy melts in a microwave or double boiler until smooth.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into melted candy using a fork. Tap to remove excess and place back on the tray.
Quickly decorate each with snowman face sprinkles (eyes, nose, mouth) before the coating sets.
Add the Oreo-Rolo hat on top. Use extra melted candy as glue if needed. Hold briefly to secure.
Allow all snowman balls to set completely for about 15 minutes. Store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

Use regular Oreos, not Double Stuf, to avoid excess moisture in the mix.
Let cream cheese come to room temperature for easy blending.
Decorate while the coating is still soft so sprinkles stick properly.
You can freeze these for up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge before serving.
