Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
Black edible marker or small black candies for eyes and buttons
Orange edible marker or small orange candies for nose
Instructions
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, to form the snowman’s body. You will need two balls per snowman.
Freeze the rolled balls for about 15-20 minutes until firm.
Melt the white chocolate chips. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or using a double boiler. If using, add vegetable shortening to the white chocolate for a smoother consistency.
Dip each Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let excess chocolate drip off.
Place the coated balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the white chocolate is still wet, attach the two body parts for each snowman. Use a little melted white chocolate to help them stick if needed.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips (with shortening if desired).
Use the melted semi-sweet chocolate to draw the snowman’s face (eyes and mouth) and buttons using a piping bag or a fork.
Attach a small orange candy or draw an orange nose with the edible marker.
Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can refrigerate them for a few minutes to speed up the process.
Notes
For a smoother coating, ensure your cream cheese is fully softened.
If you don’t have an edible marker, small black candies can be used for eyes and buttons, and a tiny piece of orange candy for the nose.
Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
