1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

For Decoration

Make sure to gather all ingredients before you start for a smooth preparation process.

Instructions

Prepare the Oreo Mixture

In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they are fine crumbs. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies with the softened cream cheese and mix until well blended.

Form the Balls

Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 30 minutes.

Melt the Chocolate

While the balls are freezing, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Stir in the vegetable oil until smooth.

Coat the Oreo Balls

Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer and dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Return them to the baking sheet.

Decorate the Snowmen

Before the chocolate hardens, use mini chocolate chips for eyes, an orange candy for the nose, and black icing for the mouth and buttons. Sprinkle coconut flakes around them for a snowy effect.

Set and Serve

Allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving. Enjoy your delightful Melting Snowman Oreo Balls!

These treats can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

If you're wondering about the best way to crush the Oreo cookies, a food processor makes this task quick and easy. However, if you don't have one, simply place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. This method can be a fun way to get the kids involved, too!

For those with dietary restrictions, you can experiment with gluten-free Oreos and dairy-free cream cheese alternatives. This way, everyone can enjoy these delightful treats without compromising their dietary needs.

Tips for the Best Oreo Balls

To ensure a smooth chocolate coating, make sure your Oreo balls are well-chilled. If they are too warm, the chocolate may not adhere properly. Additionally, when melting the white chocolate, do it in short bursts in the microwave to prevent burning, stirring frequently for a smooth consistency.

If you want to add a bit of flavor to your Oreo balls, consider mixing in a teaspoon of peppermint extract or vanilla extract into the cream cheese mixture for an extra layer of taste. This is especially delightful during the holiday season, adding a festive flair to your dessert.
