Description
Snowman Oreo Balls are festive, no-bake holiday treats made with crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese, dipped in white chocolate, and decorated to look like adorable snowmen. These kid-friendly truffles are perfect for Christmas parties, gifting, or as a fun family activity during the holiday season.
Ingredients
Scale
- 18.12 oz Oreo Cookies (about 45 cookies): base for the truffle, providing rich chocolate flavor and texture
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened: binds the cookie crumbs into a smooth, creamy filling
- 10 oz white candy melts, divided: used for coating the truffles and attaching decorations
- 12 mini Oreo cookies, halved: base of the snowman hats
- 24 Rolo chocolates: top of the snowman hats, adds a chewy caramel center
- Snowman sprinkle mix: for decorating the face (eyes, nose, smile)
- Holly sprinkle mix (optional): for festive hat decoration
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.
