Snowman Oreo Truffles

The pictures for this recipe looked so much harder than it actually was! I love that it didn't involve any actual baking, and that they look and taste very impressive. Who knew making truffles was actually really simple?

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Frosting bulbs
  • Toothpicks (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 36 OREO Cookies (regular size), finely crushed
  • 16 oz vanilla or white chocolate candy coating melted
  • 48 Mini OREO Bite Size Cookies
  • Black gel icing
  • Orange frosting

Instructions
 

  • Add 36 Oreo's into a large food processor or blender; pulse a few times and then crush until they're small crumbs.
  • Add in the cream cheese, mix until well blended.
  • Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls; place in single layer in shallow pan. I used toothpicks for dipping later but this step is optional.
  • Freeze for at least 20 minutes.
  • Dip balls in melted vanilla or white chocolate coating. If you used a toothpick, dip balls and then gently remove the toothpick. You can also 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 for a melted effect.
  • Chill balls in the fridge or freezer until coating is set.
  • Using black gel icing, dot two eyes. You could do a mouth if you want but I thought they looked cuter without! Using orange icing create a small carrot nose.
  • Using either of the frosting/icing options, attach the miniature Oreo hat to the snowman.
  • Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Keep refrigerated.

Notes

For this recipe, you can use a large food processor for the easiest mixing process. However, if you have a smaller food processor blender, just add and mix the Oreo's slowly instead of all at once.
You'll want to divide the vanilla or white chocolate chips before heating because the crumbs from the Oreo balls will eventually make the bowl of icing too messy. So I recommend dividing into fourth's and heating up each bowl as you go for a fresh mixture.
You can buy pre-made orange and black gel icings for the face, or make it with white buttercream and food coloring! If you do the latter, use a frosting bulb for the most precise look!
