Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 16 ounces white chocolate, melted
  • Orange candy melts
  • Mini chocolate chips
  • Pretzel sticks
  • Colored sprinkles optional
  • Black edible marker

Equipment

  • Food processor or ziplock bag and rolling pin
  • Large mixing bowl
  • Cookie sheet
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Fork or dipping tools
  • Small bowls
  • Piping bag or ziplock bag

Method
 

  1. Crush the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until they are finely ground into crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a large ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin until they are fine crumbs.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix well until a dough-like consistency forms.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
  4. Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the truffle balls to firm up.
  5. Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
  6. Remove the chilled truffle balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tools, dip each truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Gently tap off any excess chocolate.
  7. Place the dipped truffle back onto the parchment-lined cookie sheet. Immediately add the mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, and pretzel sticks for arms.
  8. Melt the orange candy melts according to package directions. Transfer the melted candy to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe a small amount of the orange candy onto each truffle to create a carrot nose.
  9. If desired, add colored sprinkles for scarves or hats.
  10. Return the decorated truffles to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  11. Once the chocolate has set, use the black edible marker to draw a smile on each snowman's face.

Notes

Store the Snowman Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for longer storage. If chocolate seizes, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil. If truffles are too soft to dip, freeze them for 10-15 minutes. Add decorations immediately after dipping. Try different cookie bases or flavored cream cheeses for variations.
