Festive Snowman Oreo Balls Recipe
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 37 1x
Description
Snowman oreo balls combine creamy cheese and crushed cookies into adorable winter treats. Holiday guests will love these charming no-bake desserts that deliver sweet festive cheer.
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (350 g) white chocolate or white candy melts
- Mini chocolate chips
- Orange sprinkles
- Black decorating gel
- Pretzel sticks (optional)
- Candy-coated sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreos: Transform cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor, ensuring absolute uniformity without any substantial fragments.
- Blend Base: Thoroughly integrate softened cream cheese with cookie crumbs, creating a seamless, homogeneous mixture that holds together effortlessly.
- Shape Snowman Bodies: Craft graduated spheres representing different body segments – a petite orb for the head and a broader base, maintaining proportional variation.
- Chill Formations: Refrigerate shaped figures until solidly structured, approximately 15-20 minutes, which enhances structural integrity for subsequent coating.
- Chocolate Immersion: Delicately submerge each chilled snowman into melted white chocolate, guaranteeing comprehensive, silky coverage with minimal dripping.
- Artistic Embellishment: While chocolate remains slightly tacky, strategically position miniature chocolate chips as eyes, slender pretzel sticks as arms, and vibrant orange candy representing a whimsical carrot nose.
- Final Refinement: Return decorated snowmen to refrigeration, allowing chocolate coating to completely crystallize and stabilize decorative elements, creating charming winter-themed confections.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency: Pulse Oreo cookies in the food processor until finely ground, avoiding large chunks that disrupt smooth texture.
- Cheese Blending Technique: Ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature for seamless integration with cookie crumbs, preventing lumpy mixture.
- Chilling Strategy: Refrigerate shaped balls before coating to maintain structural integrity and prevent chocolate from melting during dipping.
- Decorating Pro Tip: Work quickly when adding decorative elements like candy eyes or pretzel arms before chocolate sets completely.
