How long can I store Snowman Oreo Balls?

You can store your Snowman Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If you want to make them ahead of time, they can also be frozen for up to 2 months. Just remember to thaw them in the fridge before serving to maintain their texture and shape.

Can I use a different type of chocolate for the coating?

Yes! While white chocolate is the traditional choice for these Snowman Oreo Balls, you can easily substitute it with dark chocolate or milk chocolate if you prefer. Just be sure to melt it carefully to avoid overheating.

Can I use a different flavor of Oreos?

Absolutely! While classic Oreo cookies work best, you can experiment with different Oreo flavors such as Peppermint, Gingerbread, or Golden Oreos. Just make sure to stick to about 45 regular-sized cookies for the right texture.

Ingredients

Scale

18.12 oz Family Size package Oreo Cookies (about 45 cookies)

Instructions

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese with a hand mixer on high speed until smooth.
Add the Oreo crumbs to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
Use a 1.5-inch cookie scoop to portion out equal amounts of the mixture. Roll each portion into smooth balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Refrigerate the Oreo balls for 2 hours to firm up.
While the balls chill, melt about ¼ cup of white candy melts. Use a skewer to dab some melted candy onto an Oreo half, then press an upside-down Rolo candy on top to create a snowman hat. Add sprinkles if desired. Let the hats harden.
Melt the remaining white candy melts in a double boiler or microwave. Once smooth, dip each Oreo ball into the melted candy and place it back on the parchment-lined tray.
Quickly decorate each ball with snowman facial features: two black sugar pearls for eyes, a carrot-shaped sprinkle for the nose, and more black pearls for the smile. Work fast before the coating hardens.
Place the Oreo and Rolo hats on top of each ball. If the coating has already set, dab some melted candy onto the top of the ball to help the hat stick. Hold the hat in place for a few seconds.
Let the snowman Oreo balls set for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

Ensure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature to achieve a smooth texture.
Chill the Oreo balls for at least 20 minutes before dipping to help them hold their shape.
Use parchment paper to prevent the balls from sticking after dipping in chocolate.
Decorate quickly while the chocolate is still soft to ensure the sprinkles stick properly.
