Oreo Snowman Cake Pops (Printable View)

Festive snowman treats combining crushed Oreos and cream cheese, coated with creamy white chocolate for holiday joy.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Oreo Dough

01 - 36 Oreo cookies (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 - Mix the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese in a bowl until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
03 - Roll the dough into 32 small balls (about ¾ inch diameter) and 16 slightly larger balls (about 1¼ inch diameter).
04 - Stack one small ball atop one large ball for each snowman, gently pressing to adhere. Insert a lollipop stick through the center and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the assembled snowmen for 20 to 30 minutes until firm.
06 - Melt the 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. Let excess drip off and place upright in a styrofoam block or a cup to set.
08 - While the coating is still tacky, add mini chocolate chips or decorating gel for eyes and buttons, and use orange icing or sprinkles for the nose.
09 - Once set, decorate with pretzel arms and fondant scarves as desired.

# Best Practices:

01 -
  • They look like tiny edible art projects, and kids actually want to help make them instead of just eating store-bought treats.
  • The Oreo-cream cheese base is foolproof and tastes genuinely delicious, not like you're just coating a sponge in frosting.
  • You can make a whole batch in less than an hour once you understand the rhythm, perfect for last-minute holiday gatherings.
02 -
  • The dough needs to be completely smooth and combined or your snowmen will look lumpy and sad—don't skip the mixing step thinking texture is charming.
  • Freezing them before dipping is absolutely necessary; warm dough means they'll slide right off the stick into your melted chocolate, and that's a mess nobody wants.
  • Work quickly when decorating because once the coating starts to set, your edible glue isn't sticky anymore and nothing will stay in place.
03 -
  • If your white chocolate gets too thick while you're dipping, microwave it for ten seconds to loosen it back up instead of adding cream or oil, which changes the texture.
  • The moment the coating stops being tacky is your window to decorate—if you miss it, warm it back up slightly with your hands or dip the snowman in hot water for a second to re-activate the stickiness.
