Oreo Snowman Cake Pops (Print Version)

Festive snowmen crafted from crushed Oreos and cream cheese, covered with white chocolate and decorated for winter cheer.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Oreo Dough

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

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 ounces 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 Steps:

01 - Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely crushed.
02 - Mix crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
03 - Roll dough into 32 small balls approximately 0.8 inches in diameter and 16 larger balls about 1.2 inches in 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 of each assembly.
05 - Freeze 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 into melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly and letting excess drip off. Place upright to set.
08 - While coating is tacky, add mini chocolate chips or black decorating gel for eyes and buttons, and use orange sprinkles or colored icing for noses.
09 - Once set, attach pretzel sticks or colored fondant for arms and scarves as desired.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • They look like tiny edible snowmen but require zero baking skills or oven time.
  • Kids can help with almost every step, from crushing cookies to decorating with sprinkles and pretzel arms.
  • They stay fresh in the fridge for days, so you can make them ahead of a party without stress.
02 -
  • Softened cream cheese is non-negotiable; cold cream cheese won't blend with the Oreos and you'll end up with a crumbly mess.
  • Freezing the assembled pops before dipping is the one step that cannot be rushed—it's the difference between a beautiful coated pop and a chocolate-covered puddle.
03 -
  • If your white chocolate is too thick to coat smoothly, add coconut oil one teaspoon at a time while stirring until you reach the perfect dipping consistency.
  • Candy melts are more forgiving than chocolate and won't seize if a drop of water splashes in, making them worth the small difference in flavor.
