Snowman OREO Cookie Truffles
These Snowman Oreo Cookie Truffles are a cute holiday treat! A creamy Oreo center gets dipped in white chocolate and decorated with sprinkle eyes, a tiny orange nose, and a sweet red licorice earmuff.
Equipment
- Food processor or blender
Ingredients
- 1 (13.29-ounce) package Oreo cookies
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese at room temperature
- 3 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 container black pearl sprinkles
- 18 to 20 orange jimmie sprinkles I just pull them out of a container of funfetti sprinkles
- 36 to 40 miniature red chocolate candies
- 1 package pull apart red licorice
- Vegetable oil optional, to make the white chocolate easier to work with
Instructions
- Pulse the full Oreo cookies (no need to separate cream from cookie) in a food processor or blender until it is in crumbs.
- Using a hand mixer, beat the Oreo cookie crumbs and cream cheese together until well combined. Roll the mixture into balls. Chill the balls, covered tightly, for an hour in the fridge or freeze for 20 minutes.
- Once the balls are chilled, melt the white chocolate (I separate it into 3 equal parts to make it easier to melt and stay melted) in 20 second bursts in the microwave. (Microwave 20 seconds, stir 20 seconds, etc.)
- You may need a teaspoon (or a few) of vegetable oil to get the chocolate thin enough to dip in. Every chocolate is a bit different, so if needed, I just add the oil slowly until it coats the Oreo cookie truffles well.
- Place a ball on a fork and spoon the melted chocolate evenly over the ball. Tap the fork to remove excess chocolate (see note 1).
- Slide the ball carefully onto parchment paper and press in 2 black pearl sprinkles for eyes, an orange sprinkle for the nose, and black pearl sprinkles for the mouth.
- Place 2 red chocolate candies on either side of the truffle.
- Pull apart the licorice and cut to the width of the top of the truffle. Press into the top in between the 2 chocolate candies.
- Allow to harden at room temperature.
Notes
Note 1: Depending on how quickly you work and/or how fast the chocolate hardens, you might have to remelt the chocolate a few times.
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
