Melted Snowmen Oreo Balls
These Melted Snowmen Oreo Balls are festive and a great addition to any holiday party. I guarantee they’ll be the first to go.
Most people know these as Oreo Truffles but whatever you call them, these Melted Snowmen Oreos Balls are a dessert recipe that is always a hit.
MELTED SNOWMEN OREO BALLS
Oreo truffles are one of my all time favorite desserts. I can pop about 20 and then start to feel guilty.
I always bring them to parties because people just can’t get enough. Nabisco asked me to make their holiday version of these and these melted snowmen Oreo balls couldn’t get any cuter.
Start by making your Oreo truffles. Mix the cream cheese and crushed Oreos and form them into balls. Place them in the freezer to get hard. You can do this step way ahead to save time.
Once they’re frozen, dip them in your melted candy coating. In the past I’ve dipped mine in milk chocolate so I didn’t have to mess with getting any of the Oreo in the white coating.
But for these snowman we obviously want to use a white coating like Candiquik or almond bark. Melt it in batches so you don’t leave the trail of Oreos in the coating after a lot of dipping. 
Usually with Oreo truffles you have to dip them and then shake off the excess coating to get a nice round ball. The great thing about these is you don’t have to worry about that.
Once you’ve dipped them let the coating pool at the bottom to give you the melting snowman effect. These mini Oreos work perfectly for the snowman’s hat. 
You can decorate the faces with frosting or even use sprinkles for the eyes and nose. I used the frosting in the tubes in the baking aisle.
Just make sure after you decorate them, stick them in the fridge so the faces can harden. These take a little time but my kids loved them!

Melting Snowman Oreo Balls
Ingredients
- 1 (8 oz.) pkg. ]ream cheese softened
- 36 OREO Cookies (regular size), finely crushed
- 16 oz . vanilla candy coating , melted (like Candiquick or almond bark)
- 48 Mini OREO Bite Size Cookies
- decorations: decorating icing or gel; multi-colored sprinkles
Instructions
- Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until well blended. I like to crush the Oreos in a food processor and then add the cream cheese and process it together. It can also be done by hand though.
- Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls; place in single layer in shallow pan. Some readers have stuck toothpicks in the top before freezing for easier dipping later. Freeze for at least 20 minutes. They can be frozen for longer. Dip balls in melted coating (see note); I do this by using a fork and tapping the fork on the bowl of my candy coating to remove some of the extra coating. If you used the toothpick option dip balls and then gently remove the toothpick and fill in the hole with melted candy coating. Place in shallow waxed paper-lined pan, allowing excess coating to pool at bottom of each ball.
- Chill balls until coating is set.
- Decorate with remaining ingredients as shown in photo. You can use the candy coating to adhere the hat to the head. Place in the fridge immediately to set up the decorations.
- Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.
Recipe Notes
I have used almond bark before to dip these but found that the candy wafers work better. Sometimes when you dip the balls the Oreos can leave some crumbs in the coating but the wafers tend to do this way less.
I like to divide my coating into half or fourths so that if for some reason dark oreo bits get in one bowl you have others as back up. You can even dip them twice. Once in a layer and if it has oreo bits, oh well. The second time dip them in a fresh melting coating bowl and then there are no crumbs to worry about. I only had to dip these once but in the past I've had oreo bits sneak in my white coating

These Baked Chicken Chimichangas are a healthier twist on the old classic chimichanga.
I didn’t know they were chimichangas! 😂
On the other hand these look delicious.
Bug in the recipe card. Looks like it pulled the description from another recipe.
My daughter and I made these tonight for a Christmas party. Not only were they fun, but they were a huge hit! We will definitely be making them again.
Would love to see a pic of them!
I’ve been wanting to try to make these since I saw them and finally decided to give them a whirl. I too had trouble getting the coating smooth. They were smooth enough tho to decorate and i think look a bit more like they are melting with the imperfections. I ll make them again because they are just so darn cute, and I imagine practice will make perfect. Thanks for sharing.
What kind of coating did you use?
I just made finished making them an put in the fridge to set icing I need them for tomorrow should I put then in the freezer overnight?
Fridge is fine for a couple of days.
Just made these for a cookie exchange, and won! Thank you so much for a tasty and easy recipe!
Amazing! You must be talented!
Can these be frozen for a week? Thank you 🙂
Yes, they can totally be frozen.
How do you put the face on? I’m a novice. 🙄😕😂
I used gel frostings. They’re in the baking aisle.
Today we’re going to talk about MINI RED VELVET CHEESECAKES.
I share your article on my site.
Good post. I learn something new and challenging on websites I stumbleupon everyday.
It’s always useful to read content from other writers and use something from other web sites.
I make Oreo balls year round, yet have never observed any so innovatively done. I get a kick out of the chance to utilize the red peppermint cream Oreos that can be found in the stores soon to give a merry turn to mine.
I have another article like this observe here
I share your article on my site.
Great christmas :p I love it
This site truly has all of the information and facts I wanted concerning this
subject and didn’t know who to ask.
Instagram is a mobile, desktop, and Internet-based photo-sharing application and service that allows users to share pictures and videos either publicly, or privately to pre-approved followers.Are you frustrated that you don’t have many Instagram followers? If you want to get Instagram famous, you need to focus on ways to get your photos noticed. When I first signed up to Instagram, I really struggled to get my first 30 followers. Even my best photos were getting only a few likes, and I wasn’t getting any feedback on my photos. That’s when I decided it was time to get popular on Instagram and get the site to Instagram followers.
Very interesting and yummy recipe.
Thank you!
Looks like I can not eat it, these are so cute.
I love all your recipes. You are a fantastic baker. How do you get the white chocolate to look so smooth. Maybe the chocolate melts are different here in Newfoundland Canada. I can’t get them looking good at all It seems like the coating are too thick.
I am from Newfoundland Canada. You may have heard about us during the 911 crises.
You are a fantastic baker!
I definitely have the best luck with Almond Bark or Candiquik vanilla coating. I do not like the melts as much.
How do you get the gel to dry? When I use those tubes it never drys to touch.
If you freeze them it will set.
