Ingredients
- 18.12 oz (about 45 Oreo cookies, Family Size)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 10 oz white melting wafers (divided)
- Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
- Orange sprinkles (for noses)
- Pretzel sticks (for arms)
Optional Decorations:
- Edible markers for faces or patterns
- Colored sprinkles for scarves, hats, or buttons
- Candy canes for decoration or sleds
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Truffles:
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or ziplock bag using a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the crushed Oreo crumbs, mixing until fully combined.
- Roll the mixture into small, smooth balls using a cookie scoop. Place them on the prepared tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
- Shape the Snowman Bodies:
- Melt ¼ cup of white melting wafers using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Dip the bottom of one Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and press it onto another ball to form the body. Repeat for all snowmen.
- Decorate the Snowmen:
- Attach mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, using a dot of melted chocolate as glue.
- Add orange sprinkles or a candy piece for the nose.
- Insert pretzel sticks into the middle truffle for arms.
- Decorate with colored sprinkles for scarves, hats, or earmuffs.
- Drizzle more melted white chocolate over the snowmen for a snowy effect, or sprinkle edible glitter for extra sparkle.
Notes
- Tips for Perfect Truffles:
- If the chocolate clumps, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to thin it out.
- Ensure truffles are cold before decorating to help the decorations set properly.
- To make the truffles firmer, chill them longer before rolling.
- Decorating Ideas: Experiment with creating a snowman family or even other holiday characters like Santa or reindeer.
