Oreo Snowman Cake Pops (Printable Version)

Cute snowmen treats made from Oreo crumbs and cream cheese, coated in white chocolate and festive decorations.

# Ingredient List:

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

# How to Make:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
02 - Mix crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese in a bowl until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
03 - Roll dough into 32 small balls about 0.8 inches and 16 larger balls about 1.2 inches in diameter.
04 - Stack one small ball on top of one large ball for each snowman, gently pressing to adhere. Insert a lollipop stick through the center and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
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 pop into melted chocolate, turn to coat evenly, allow excess to drip off, then place upright in styrofoam block or cup to set.
08 - While 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 - After coating sets, decorate with pretzel arms and fondant scarves as desired.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They look fancy enough to impress at parties but honestly take zero baking skill.
  • Kids go absolutely wild decorating these, and you get to actually sit down while they work.
  • White chocolate coating hides any imperfections, so your wonky snowmen still look adorable.
02 -
  • Cream cheese needs to be soft or the mix becomes impossible to work with; take it out of the fridge 15 minutes early.
  • Chilling before chocolate dipping is non-negotiable—warm cake pops will crack and fall apart in the coating.
  • Always dip with a gentle hand; these are more delicate than they look once they're warm.
03 -
  • Dip your lollipop stick in melted chocolate first, then insert into the frozen ball; this creates a seal that keeps everything from slipping.
  • Keep your chocolate at about 90°F—if it cools too much, it'll get thick and gloopy, but if it's too hot, the cake pops will fall apart.
