Whether you call them Oreo truffle balls, Oreo Christmas balls, or Oreo ball snowmen, these treats will wow your guests and keep the holiday spirit alive.

Ingredients for Oreo Cookie Truffles

To start, you’ll need just a few simple ingredients. This recipe makes about 24 truffles:

For the Oreo Truffles:

• 1 (14.3 oz) package of OREO cookies (about 36 cookies)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• White chocolate or white candy melts for coating

For the Snowman Decorations:

• Mini chocolate chips or nonpareil candies (for the eyes and buttons)
• Orange sprinkles or candy (for the nose)
• Black decorating gel (for the smile)
• Mini OREOS (optional, for the top hat)

Step-by-Step: How to Make Oreo Snowmen

1. Prepare the Oreo Cookie Truffle Recipe Mixture

1. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. 
2. Add softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and mix until fully combined. The mixture should resemble a thick, sticky dough.

2. Shape the Truffles

1. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
2. Place all the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until firm.

3. Coat the Truffles

1. Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
2. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated.
3. Tap off any excess coating and place the truffles back on the parchment paper.
4. While the topping is still wet, you can assemble each of your snowmen one ball at a time. My candy melts stayed melted long enough that I was able to decorate each snowman one at a time. If you prefer to coat all of your balls first, you’ll need additional coating to adhere the hats and faces later. 

Assembling the Oreo Snowmen

5. Add the Snowman Features

1. Press mini chocolate chips or nonpareil into the smaller ball for eyes.
2. Add an orange sprinkle or candy for the snowman’s carrot nose.
3. Use black decorating gel to draw a smile under the nose.
4. Top each snowman with a mini OREO.

Tips for Perfect Oreo Truffle Balls

1. Chill the Dough: Cold dough is easier to work with, so don’t skip the refrigeration step. If the dough gets sticky, pop it back in the fridge.
2. Smooth Coating: To avoid clumps, make sure the melted white chocolate is smooth and warm but not too hot. Only heat for 20-30 seconds at a time and mix regularly. The first time I tried to melt the coating it was too hot so I had to start over. You’ll know it’s too hot because it seizes up.
