Festive Oreo and cream cheese snowmen coated in white chocolate, ideal for winter celebrations.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oreo Dough

01 - 36 Oreo cookies (1 standard package)
02 - 6 oz cream cheese, softened

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
04 - Mini chocolate chips or black decorating gel for eyes and buttons
05 - Orange sprinkles or colored icing for nose
06 - Pretzel sticks or colored fondant for arms and scarves
07 - Lollipop sticks

# Directions:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
02 - Mix crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and uniform.
03 - Roll dough into 32 small balls (~0.8 inches) and 16 larger balls (~1.2 inches).
04 - Stack one small ball atop one large ball for each snowman, pressing gently to adhere. Insert a lollipop stick through the center and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the snowmen for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
06 - Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.

09 - Once set, decorate with pretzel sticks for arms and fondant for scarves as desired.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • They look so impossibly cute that people assume you spent hours in the kitchen, when really it's just 35 minutes of honest work.
  • The combination of Oreo cookies and cream cheese creates this addictive texture that tastes nothing like stale cookies—it becomes something entirely new.
02 -
  • Cream cheese that's even slightly cold will create lumps that refuse to disappear—leave it on the counter for a real 15 minutes before mixing.
  • If your chocolate gets thick and clumpy during dipping, add a tiny bit of coconut oil or shortening and warm it again, but never water, which will ruin it completely.
03 -
  • Use candy melts instead of real white chocolate if you're nervous about tempering—they set reliably and look glossy without the fuss.
  • A styrofoam block is worth finding because a coffee cup or glass makes the pops lean at odd angles, but any upright holder works in a pinch.
