Ingredients
  

For the Oreo balls
  • 36 pieces classic Oreo cookies, regular filling
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 16 ounces white melting wafers or white chocolate, chopped
For decorating
  • Mini Reese's cups or chocolate bells for hats, optional
  • Mini chocolate chips for eyes
  • Orange sprinkle jimmies or orange icing for noses
  • Black decorating gel or melted chocolate for smiles and buttons
  • Colored sprinkles or pretzel sticks for arms, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs. If no processor is available, seal cookies in a bag and smash with a rolling pin.
  2. Mix crumbs with cream cheese until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  3. Roll into 1 inch balls and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15 to 20 minutes until firm.
  4. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring between each until smooth.
  5. Dip each chilled ball into the white chocolate and place back on the parchment. Spoon an extra puddle of chocolate around the base so it looks like a melting snowman.
  6. Before the coating sets, place mini chocolate chip eyes, an orange sprinkle nose, and draw a smile with gel or melted chocolate. Add a hat or scarf if desired.
  7. Let set at room temperature or in the fridge until firm, about 15 minutes.

Notes

Keep finished snowmen in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the undipped truffle centers for a month. Allow to thaw in the fridge before dipping to avoid condensation. Use good quality melting wafers for a smooth, shiny finish.
