Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 40 Regular Oreo cookies, crushed
- 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup vanilla frosting
Coating & Decorations
- 12 ounces vanilla almond bark
- 24 chocolate-covered caramels
- 12 mini-Oreos
- Assorted sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Pans: Line two sheet pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Make Oreo Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, softened cream cheese, and vanilla frosting. Mix until you achieve a dough-like consistency that holds together when rolled.
- Form Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them evenly spaced on the prepared sheet pans. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Almond Bark: Melt the vanilla almond bark using a double boiler or microwave, stirring occasionally until completely smooth.
- Coat Oreo Balls: Dip each chilled ball into the melted almond bark, allowing excess coating to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined pans.
- Add Decorations: Before the coating sets, garnish each ball with half a mini-Oreo cookie as the hat brim and a chocolate-covered caramel on top as the hat’s crown.
- Create Faces & Buttons: Use assorted sprinkles to decorate snowman faces and buttons on the coated Oreo balls.
- Final Chill: Chill the decorated Oreo balls again to allow the coating and decorations to set properly for better presentation.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Chilling between steps helps maintain the shape of the balls and ensures a cleaner coating.
- Use a toothpick or small brush for more precise decoration placement if desired.
- Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a nut-free option, ensure the almond bark is nut-free or substitute with vanilla candy melts.
