Serving size and preparation time:
The serving size and preparation time for Melted Snowmen Oreo Balls can vary depending on the size of the Oreo balls and the number of people you’re serving. As a general guideline, this recipe makes around 36 Oreo balls, and each ball can be considered a single serving.
The preparation time for this recipe is around 45 minutes, including the time it takes to crush the Oreos, form the balls, chill them in the refrigerator, and decorate them with the melted almond bark and other toppings.
Note that the preparation time may be longer if you are making a larger batch of Oreo balls or if you choose to make your own almond bark from scratch. Additionally, it’s important to factor in the time it takes for the Oreo balls to chill in the refrigerator between steps.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (36 cookies)
- 1 package of cream cheese (8 ounces), softened
- 1 package of vanilla almond bark (24 ounces)
- Miniature chocolate chips
- Orange jimmies or sprinkles
- Red fruit leather or fruit roll-ups
Instructions:
- Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or place them in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are finely ground.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese until well blended.
- Form the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the vanilla almond bark according to the package instructions in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Remove the Oreo balls from the refrigerator and dip each ball in the melted vanilla almond bark, making sure to coat it evenly. Place the coated balls back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Before the vanilla almond bark coating sets, add two miniature chocolate chips for the eyes, an orange sprinkle or jimmie for the nose, and a small piece of red fruit leather or fruit roll-up for the scarf. You can also use small pieces of pretzel sticks for arms, if desired.
- Once all of the balls have been decorated, chill them in the refrigerator until the coating is firm.
- Serve the Melted Snowmen Oreo Balls on a platter or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
