Oreo Snowman Cake Pops (Printable)

Festive Oreo pops shaped as snowmen, coated with white chocolate and decorated for holiday celebrations.

# What You Need:

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

# How-To:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed.
02 - Combine crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese in a bowl until smooth and uniform dough forms.
03 - Roll dough into 32 small balls (approximately 0.8 inches diameter) and 16 larger balls (approximately 1.2 inches diameter).
04 - Stack one small ball atop one large ball for each snowman, gently pressing to adhere; insert a lollipop stick through the center 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 into the melted chocolate, turning to coat evenly; let excess drip off then set upright in a styrofoam block or cup.
08 - While coating is tacky, attach mini chocolate chips or decorating gel for eyes and buttons, and apply orange icing or sprinkles for the nose.
09 - Once set, decorate with pretzel arms and fondant scarves as desired.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They're surprisingly simple to make but look like you spent hours in a bakery perfecting your craft.
  • Kids and adults both get genuinely excited watching plain balls transform into festive snowmen with personality.
  • No baking required—just crushing, mixing, and a little patience while they chill.
02 -
  • The freezing step isn't optional—skipping it means your snowmen will crumble into the melted chocolate and you'll end up with chocolate-covered crumbs instead of clean-coated pops.
  • Softened cream cheese is essential; cold cream cheese will make your dough lumpy and frustrating, and you'll spend way more time mixing than you should.
03 -
  • If you don't have a food processor, a zip-top bag and rolling pin work just as well—honestly, there's something meditative about crushing cookies by hand.
  • Candy melts melt smoother than real white chocolate and set faster, so they're worth hunting down if you want foolproof coating.
