How to Make My Snowman Oreo Truffles

Step 1 — Prepare the Filling
Crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form.

Step 2 — Add Cream Cheese
Mix the cream cheese into the crushed Oreos until a smooth dough forms.

Step 3 — Shape the Truffles
Roll teaspoon-sized balls for the snowman heads and slightly larger balls for the snowman bodies.

Step 4 — Chill the Shapes
Freeze the shaped balls for 15 to 20 minutes to firm them up for dipping.

Step 5 — Melt the White Chocolate
Warm white chocolate wafers in the microwave in short intervals until fully melted.

Step 6 — Assemble the Snowmen
Dip the larger ball in white chocolate, let it set slightly, then dip the smaller ball and attach it on top to form a snowman shape.

Step 7 — Add the Decorations
Use mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, an orange sprinkle or candy for the nose, and icing or candy strips for scarves.

Step 8 — Let Them Set
Place finished snowmen on parchment paper until fully firm.

Tips for the Best Snowman Oreo Truffles

Keep the dough cold so the truffles hold their shape when dipping in white chocolate. Use melting wafers or high-quality white chocolate for the smoothest coating.

Let the dipped truffles set slightly before adding decorations so nothing slides out of place. If the chocolate thickens, warm it for a few seconds to keep the coating smooth.

Work in small batches so the dough balls stay chilled and easy to handle.
