Oreo Snowman Cake Pops (Print Version)

Festive snowmen made from Oreo dough, cream cheese, and white chocolate coating, ideal for winter entertaining.

# What You'll Need:

→ Oreo Dough

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

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 oz 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

# How to Make It:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
02 - Combine crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese in a bowl and mix until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
03 - Roll the dough into 32 small balls (~0.8 inch diameter) and 16 larger balls (~1.2 inch diameter).
04 - Stack one small ball atop one large ball for each snowman and gently press to adhere. Insert a lollipop stick through the center and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the assembled snowmen for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
06 - Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
07 - Dip each chilled snowman pop into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly. Allow excess to drip off, then place upright in a styrofoam block or cup to set.
08 - While coating is tacky, add mini chocolate chips or decorating gel for eyes and buttons, and apply orange sprinkles or icing for the nose.
09 - Once set, adorn snowmen with pretzel arms and fondant scarves as desired.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • They look like tiny works of art but taste like pure Oreo indulgence, so people always assume they're harder to make than they actually are.
  • No baking required means you can make these while waiting for other holiday tasks or during a cozy afternoon with someone special.
  • Kids and adults both get genuinely excited decorating them, turning what could be a solo kitchen task into something fun and collaborative.
02 -
  • Room-temperature cream cheese is non-negotiable—cold cream cheese will create lumps and make your life miserable as you try to blend it smoothly with the cookie crumbs.
  • That window between dipping and complete setting is golden; wait too long and your decorations won't stick, so have all your toppings prepped and within arm's reach before you start coating.
03 -
  • If you don't have a food processor, seal your Oreos in a heavy zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin—it's actually cathartic and gives you better control over the texture.
  • Make a batch and freeze them undecorated for up to two weeks; decorate them fresh whenever you need a quick gift or festive addition to a dessert table.
