Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Blender
- Food Processor
- Large Pot
- Wooden Spoon
- Mixing Bowl
Ingredients
- 36 pieces Oreo cookies Regular, crushed into fine crumbs.
- 8 ounces cream cheese Softened.
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Or peppermint extract, optional.
- 12 ounces white chocolate Good quality or melting wafers or almond bark.
- ½ teaspoon coconut oil Or canola oil.
- 24 pieces Rolo candies
- 12 pieces mini Oreos
- assorted sprinkles
Instructions
- Line two large sheet pans with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place the Oreos in a food processor or blender and pulse into fine crumbs. (Use the entire cookie.)
- Add the softened cream cheese and extract (if using) and pulse until combined OR transfer Oreo crumbs to a large bowl and mix with the cream cheese until fully combined.
- Scoop out about 1½ tablespoons of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on the prepared sheet pan. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 1 hour or freeze for 30 minutes. The balls should be firm before dipping.
- Use a double boiler or microwave to melt the white chocolate and coconut oil together until smooth and creamy. If microwaving, heat at 50% power in 30 second increments, stirring in between until smooth. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Dip an Oreo ball into the melted chocolate using a dipping tool or fork, and return to the sheet pan.
- Working quickly, use assorted sprinkles to create the eyes and nose for the snowman. Use orange sprinkles or small carrots for the nose and any black sprinkles for the eyes.
- Place half of a mini Oreo on top of the ball. Dip the Rolo in the melted chocolate and place on top of the mini Oreo.
- Place Oreo balls in the refrigerator to chill for another hour to set up completely.
Notes
- Storage Information: Keep the Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator in a single layer. If you need to layer, place a piece of parchment or wax paper in between the layers. The Oreo cookie Balls can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks which makes them great for making in advance.
- Freezing: I don’t recommend freezing the decorated Oreo Balls because the color from the sprinkles can bleed if frozen and then thawed.
