Description

Combining crushed Oreos, cream cheese, and vanilla frosting, these bite-sized treats are dipped in smooth vanilla almond bark and decorated to resemble adorable snowmen using mini Oreos, chocolate caramels, and sprinkles.


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

  1. Prepare Pans: Line two sheet pans with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Melt Almond Bark: Melt the vanilla almond bark using a double boiler or microwave, stirring occasionally until completely smooth.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. Create Faces & Buttons: Use assorted sprinkles to decorate snowman faces and buttons on the coated Oreo balls.
  8. 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.
