It’s the Christmas season and I am already finding myself excited to start some of our family traditions. My favorite part about Christmas is celebrating the birth of Jesus, gifts and spending time with my family. Followed up with a wide display of yummy Christmas food treats, like these amazing OREO Ball Snowmen treats!
This year I thought I would put a spin on things and make the OREO Balls into a happy snowman! It’s super easy to make and it doesn’t take all day to create. Just to show you how simple it is I thought I would write an article on How To Make Christmas OREO Ball Snowmen Treats! You can also watch the video in case you don’t like to read – LOL!

How To Make Christmas
OREO Ball Snowmen Treats
Step One
Get the kids involved by having them crush up OREO’s for you and on the side you can blend together the OREO cookies with the cream cheese.
Step Two
Shape your OREO crumbs into 1 inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet and let them cool in the fridge for 10 minutes before covering the OREO Balls with the chocolate.
Step Three
Melt the white baking chocolate over low heat on the stove. Be careful not to let sit and burn in the pot, like I did the first time! Stir it often and once it is fully melted remove the OREO Balls from the fridge.
Step Four
Line them on wax paper then slowly pour the melted chocolate over each OREO Ball. You can place them into the fridge to harden to the touch or if you made a ton, like I did you might notice they harden quickly as you pour the chocolate across the remaining OREO Balls and are ready for the next step by the time you are finished with the last one.
Step Five
Mix your powdered sugar and milk to make a frosting for the eyes, smile and nose. Use food coloring to dye to what colors you would like to use for each. I mixed green and red to make my brown hue. Lastly, add a mini OREO on top with a small dab of frosting for a good hold on top of the OREO Cookie Ball Snowman’s head. Super cute cookie to share with all your family and friends this season!
