Oreo snowman cake pops (Printable)

Festive Oreo and cream cheese snowmen coated in white chocolate, ideal for holiday gatherings.

# Components:

→ 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 sprinkle or colored icing (for nose)
06 - Pretzel sticks or colored fondant (for arms and scarves)
07 - Lollipop sticks

# Method:

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 3/4 inch diameter) and 16 slightly larger balls (approximately 1 1/4 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 of each assembled snowman and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the 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 coating 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 icing or sprinkles for the nose.
09 - Once coating is set, attach pretzel sticks as arms and fondant scarves as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They look like actual snowmen, which means kids (and adults) will genuinely be excited to eat them.
  • No baking required, just crushing, mixing, dipping, and decorating—you can make a batch while listening to music or catching up with someone.
  • The cream cheese and Oreo combo is impossibly smooth, nothing dry or crumbly about the inside.
  • You can decorate them however you want, so they double as a craft project and a snack.
02 -
  • If your cream cheese is cold, the mixture becomes impossible to work with—let it sit on the counter for at least 20 minutes before you start, and your future self will thank you.
  • The freezing step isn't optional, and I learned this the hard way when I skipped it once and watched my snowmen collapse mid-dip into a chocolate puddle.
  • Don't overwork the dough, or it'll get too warm and sticky—the cooler your hands and work surface, the easier everything goes.
03 -
  • If you want fancier scarves, tint white fondant with gel food coloring and roll it thin—it stretches easier than you'd expect and looks genuinely elegant wrapped around their necks.
  • A small dab of melted white chocolate acts as glue if you need to reposition anything after the coating sets, so don't panic if something shifts.
