- Method: No Bake
- Cuisine: American
- 36 Golden Oreo Cookies (or similar vanilla wafers)
- 8 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 12–16 ounces White Chocolate or White Candy Melts
- Mini chocolate chips (for eyes)
- Orange candy sprinkles or small orange candies (for nose)
- Pretzel sticks (for arms)
- Mini chocolate wafers or Reese's cups (for hats)
- First, crush the golden Oreo cookies into very fine crumbs using a food processor or a Ziploc bag and rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and well combined.
- Add the crushed cookie crumbs to the cream cheese mixture and mix with a spoon, then use your hands to incorporate everything until a thick, uniform dough forms.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the truffle mixture for at least 30 minutes.
- Once chilled, roll two balls for each snowman: a larger one for the body (about 1.5 inches) and a smaller one for the head (about 1 inch).
- Press the smaller head ball onto the larger body ball and place the formed snowmen onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the baking sheet with the snowmen for another 20-30 minutes.
- While the snowmen are chilling, melt the white chocolate or candy melts using a double boiler or microwave until smooth.
- Dip each snowman into the melted coating, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the coating is still wet, add mini chocolate chips for eyes, an orange candy sprinkle for the nose, and any other decorations like pretzel arms or hats.
- Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes, or until the coating is completely set.
