Melted Snowman Oreo Balls

These fun Melted Snowman Oreo Balls are so cute and you’ll love to make them! They will look fantastic on your Christmas table.

Ingredients:

1 pkg. (8 oz.) brick cream cheese, softened

36 OREO Cookies (regular size), finely crushed

16 oz. vanilla candy wafers or melts, melted (these can be found at Walmart, target, Michaels or other craft stores)

48 Mini OREO Bite Size Cookies

decorations: decorating icing or gel; multi-colored sprinkles

 

Directions:

1. 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.
2. Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls; place in single layer in shallow pan. 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. Place in shallow waxed paper-lined pan, allowing excess coating to pool at bottom of each ball. Decorate with remaining ingredients as shown in photo. You can use the candy coating to adhere the hat to the head.
3. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

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
