Ingredients

• 1 cup chocolate wafer cookies (or Oreos), crushed
• 1 cup cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
• Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
• Orange candy corn or orange sprinkles (for noses)
• Black decorating gel (optional, for added details)
• Shredded coconut (optional, for snow)

Timing

Making No-Bake Snowman Truffles takes about 15 minutes for preparation and 30 minutes for chilling.

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Truffle Mixture

1. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed chocolate wafer cookies and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

1. Form Balls: Using your hands, roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
2. Chill: Refrigerate the truffles for about 15-20 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Melt the White Chocolate

1. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.

Step 4: Coat the Truffles

1. Dip Truffles: Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to allow excess chocolate to drip off.
2. Place on Parchment: Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Decorate the Snowmen

1. Add Features: While the white chocolate is still wet, use mini chocolate chips for the eyes and buttons, and place an orange candy corn or sprinkle for the nose.
2. Optional Details: Use black decorating gel to add additional details like a mouth or scarf.

Step 6: Chill Again

1. Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the decorated truffles for another 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.

Step 7: Serve

1. Display: Arrange the snowman truffles on a festive platter. Optionally, sprinkle shredded coconut around them to resemble snow.
