Ingredients
Scale
Base Mixture
- 36 regular size OREO Cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Coating
- 1 package Vanilla Chocolate Candy Coating
Decorations
- Hershey Kisses
- 1 package Wilton Chocolate Candy Melts
- Green cookie icing
- Red M&M’s
- Sprinkles (snowflake-shaped recommended)
- Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and nose)
- Orange chocolate chips (for nose)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a large zip lock bag and crush them finely using a rolling pin, ensuring there are no large chunks remaining.
- Prepare the cream cheese: Soften the cream cheese and place it in a mixing bowl to make blending easier.
- Mix ingredients: Add the crushed Oreo cookies to the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the mixture is evenly blended into a thick dough-like consistency.
- Shape into balls: Form the cookie mixture into approximately 1-inch diameter balls, ensuring they are smooth and compact for dipping.
- Melt the chocolate: Following the package directions, melt the vanilla chocolate candy coating thoroughly and dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Place coated balls on wax paper or a silicone mat to set firmly.
- Prepare the snowman hat: Using a knife, carefully cut the tip off each Hershey Kiss. Apply a dot of green cookie icing to the cut end and attach the Kiss onto the chocolate-coated cookie ball to resemble a hat.
- Decorate the snowman face: Place a snowflake sprinkle on the front of each ball and use mini chocolate chips to create eyes and a nose. For a traditional orange carrot nose, use orange chocolate chips strategically positioned.
- Add finishing touches: Use green cookie icing to add details such as a scarf or earmuffs, and attach red M&M’s on the sides as earmuffs to complete the festive look.
Notes
- Make sure cream cheese is fully softened for easier blending.
- Use wax paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking when candy coating sets.
- Customize decorations with different colored icing and sprinkles to match your holiday theme.
- Store the finished Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- These treats do not require baking and are perfect for making with kids.
