🔪How to Make Oreo Snowman Cookies or Truffles
Start by making your Oreo truffles. Line a pan with wax paper and set aside.
Place your Oreos into a sandwich bag and crush with a rolling pin. You’ll want very small piece in order to facilitate the rolling of the truffles.
Place your crushed Oreos in a bowl and add cream cheese. Mix and then shape into 1.5 inch spheres. Place gently on lined pan and refrigerate for about one hour.
Once the truffles are chilled, remove from refrigerator and melt candy melts. To do so, place candy in a microwave-safe bowl and add coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals until completely melted, mixing in-between each interval.
Dip each truffle in the melted candy and coat evenly. Place back onto lined pan and poke a hole at the top with a toothpick. Refrigerate for 30 min.
While the truffles chill, it’s time to shape and decorate the fondant pieces. Roll 8-10 fondant spheres, about 1 inch in size. Roll another 8-10 fondant spheres, about ½ an inch in size.
On the one inch fondant spheres, draw three buttons with your black marker.
On the smaller spheres, draw 2 eyes.
Add a triangular fondant piece in the middle, with your orange fondant.
This will serve as the snowman’s carrot nose.
Remove truffles from the refrigerator.
Assemble by inserting a toothpick through your 1 inch fondant sphere and then inserting it into the Oreo truffle.
Top with snowman’s head.
Repeat for each snowman and serve. Enjoy!
👩🍳 Expert Tips
- Chill ‘em good. Cold Oreo balls dip cleaner and hold their snowman shape—no meltdowns here!
- Use a fork, not your fingers. Makes the dip smoother and keeps your snowmen looking classy, not clumpy.
- Decorate fast! That chocolate sets quicker than your toddler’s bedtime excuse—get those faces on pronto!
💭 FAQs
Store the assembled Snowman Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This helps maintain their firmness and freshness. Allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for optimal flavor.
Yes, store-bought fondant works well for decorating. Ensure it's pliable for easy shaping of the snowman's head and facial features.
If a black food marker isn't available, you can use a small brush with black gel food coloring or edible black ink to draw the snowman's eyes and buttons.
Certainly! You can use thin licorice strips, chocolate-covered pretzel sticks, or even small candy canes as creative alternatives for the snowman's arms.
