Oreo Snowman Cake Pops (Print View)

Festive snowmen crafted from Oreo crumbs and cream cheese, dipped in white chocolate and decorated.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Oreo Dough

01 - 36 Oreo sandwich cookies (1 standard package)
02 - 6 oz (180 g) cream cheese, softened

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 oz (350 g) white chocolate or candy melts
04 - Mini chocolate chips or black decorating gel for eyes and buttons
05 - Orange sprinkles or colored icing for nose
06 - Pretzel sticks or colored fondant for arms and scarves
07 - Lollipop sticks

# Directions:

01 - Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed.
02 - Combine crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until smooth and uniform.
03 - Roll dough into 32 small balls about 0.8 inches (2 cm) diameter and 16 larger balls about 1.2 inches (3 cm) diameter.
04 - Stack one small ball atop each large ball, pressing gently to adhere. Insert a lollipop stick through center of each stack and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Freeze snowmen for 20–30 minutes until firm.
06 - Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
07 - Dip each chilled snowman into melted chocolate, turning to coat fully. Allow excess coating to drip off and set upright in a styrofoam block or tall glass.
08 - While coating remains tacky, apply mini chocolate chips or decorating gel for eyes and buttons, and orange icing or sprinkles for the nose.
09 - Once coating has set, attach pretzel sticks as arms and fondant as scarves as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're genuinely impressive-looking despite being foolproof enough for kids to help decorate.
  • The Oreo-cream cheese combo tastes like a sophisticated truffle hiding inside your snowman.
  • They're festive without requiring any baking, so you can make them while watching holiday movies.
02 -
  • If your dough is too soft when you're rolling, chill it for five minutes—trying to roll warm dough is like herding cats.
  • That tacky window of time right after dipping is your only chance for decorations to stick without extra glue, so have your toppings prepped and within arm's reach.
  • Cream cheese separates slightly when it's at room temperature, so softened doesn't mean warm—aim for just soft enough to press your finger into.
03 -
  • Use a cookie scoop to ensure all your balls are the same size, making them look intentional rather than handmade and lumpy.
  • If you can't find pretzel sticks, rolled-up fruit leather or even thin licorice pieces work beautifully as arms and create different visual effects depending on what you choose.
