Ingredients
- 24 Double Stuff Oreos (golden or regular)
- 20 ounces Ghirardelli white melting wafers
- Black sugar pearl sprinkles (for eyes and smile)
- Orange Tic Tacs (for nose)
- 2 ounces Sour Punch Straws (cut in half for earmuffs)
- 3.14 ounces M&Ms (for earmuffs)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Preparing Your Oreo Snowmen
Gather Your Ingredients
Start by collecting all your ingredients on a clean countertop. Prepare two baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper, which will help with easy removal later.
Melt the White Chocolate
Using a double boiler, melt the Ghirardelli white melting wafers over low heat until they are smooth and creamy. Stir occasionally to ensure even melting.
Dip the Oreos
Take a Double Stuff Oreo and fully immerse it in the melted white chocolate. Use a fork to lift it out, tapping the edge of the pot to remove excess chocolate. Place the dipped Oreo onto the lined baking sheet. Repeat this process with the remaining Oreos, working in small batches.
Decorate the Faces
Once your Oreos are dipped, it’s time to decorate! Place two black sugar pearls on each Oreo for the eyes. Next, add an orange Tic Tac in the center to resemble a carrot nose. For the smile, position five sugar pearls underneath the Tic Tac.
Create the Earmuffs
To make the earmuffs, take a 2-inch piece of Sour Punch Straw and attach it across the top of the Oreo. Hold it in place for about 10 seconds to allow the chocolate to set slightly. Then, attach one M&M on each side of the straw for a perfect winter accessory.
Chill Your Oreos
Place the decorated Oreo Snowmen in the fridge for about 10 minutes or until the white chocolate is fully set. If desired, you can also create additional chocolate-covered Oreos sprinkled with extra decorations.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these lovable Oreo Snowmen on a festive platter as part of a holiday dessert table. They can also be individually wrapped as charming gifts for friends and family, spreading cheer even more!
Tips for Success
- Make sure the melting wafers are heated slowly to prevent burning.
- Work in small batches to maintain the chocolate’s warmth and fluidity.
- Allow assembled snowmen to chill long enough for the chocolate to harden completely, ensuring they stay intact.
Variations
Consider using colored melting wafers for a more colorful snowman. You could also substitute edible eyes for sugar pearls for added fun. If you want to get creative, try different candies for hats, like mini chocolate bars, to give your snowmen unique personalities.
