To Make The Cream Cheese Truffles

Step 1. Line a baking tray or shallow pan with parchment paper or wax paper and set it aside.

Step 2. Place the Oreos in a food processor or high speed blender. Pulse into fine crumbs.

Step 3. In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer on high speed, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.

Step 4. Add the Oreo cookie crumbs to the bowl with the cream cheese mixture. Mix on medium speed until well combined.

Step 5. Use a small cookie scoop to make even sized balls. Roll the mixture in the palms of your hands to make them smooth and more rounded.

Step 6. Place the rolled balls onto the prepared baking sheet, then place in the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.

To Decorate The Cookie Balls

Step 1. As the Oreo truffles are chilling, prepare the snowman hats. Melt about ¼ cup of chocolate melts in a double boiler. You could also microwave the melts in a bowl instead.

Step 2. Use a skewer to dab a little of the melted chocolate onto the top of a mini Oreo half. Stick an upside down Rolo candy on top, and place in a single layer on a cookie sheet.

Step 3. Decorate the rim of the hat with sprinkles. Repeat to make the rest of the snowman hats, then set aside and allow the chocolate to harden.

Step 4. In a double boiler over low heat (or use a microwave safe bowl and microwave on low setting), melt the white melting wafers, stirring every 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.

Step 5. Next, use a fork to dip balls in melted chocolate. Lift the fork and lightly tap it on the side of the double boiler just to even out the coating. Place the ball back onto the baking tray.

Step 6. Immediately, using a pair of tweezers, add the sprinkles to decorate the snowman face. Add black sugar pearl sprinkles for the eyes and mouth, then add a carrot sprinkle for the nose.

Step 7. If the chocolate has already started to set, dab a drop or two more on the snowman’s head, then add the top hat. Hold it steady for a few seconds to be sure it sets and doesn’t slide off.

Step 8. Repeat with the remaining Oreo balls.

Step 9. Allow the candy coating on your adorable snowman Oreo balls to set completely on the prepared baking tray before serving. Enjoy!

STORING

Fridge: Store leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Freezer: While you can freeze them, the hats tend to fall off. You can always freeze the truffles then add the hats at a later time.

Tips & Tricks

• Chocolate: We use candy melts that you can find in craft stores or the baking aisle at the grocery store. You can also use white almond bark or white chocolate chips. Chocolate chips have a lower melting point than candy melting wafers so make sure you heat them very slowly.
• Oreos: You can use any flavored Oreos to make the Oreo crumbs. Peppermint, gingerbread, chocolate or Golden Oreos are all great options. You’ll still use the same amount that the recipe calls for.
• Sprinkles: If you can’t find snowman decorating sprinkles then you can use black sugar pearls or black icing gel to make the dot for the mouth and the eyes. For the nose, you can use an orange sprinkle, orange tic tac or even a little orange icing or melted chocolate.
• Candy hat: Instead of Rolos, you can use mini Reese’s cups. You can also trim down and dip a large marshmallow into chocolate before you place it on top.

How To Make Melted Snowman

To make melting snowman Oreo balls, dip the balls in the melted candy then immediately place them on a wax paper lined baking sheet. Don’t tap off the extra chocolate. Instead, allow excess to drip and pool around the snowman’s head, which will give them a melting snowman effect.
