NO-BAKE OREO TRUFFLE SNOWMEN
These cookies-and-cream snowman truffles are almost too cute to eat -- almost. Coating them in melting wafers gives the snowmen a smooth, white finish that looks like what you'd get at a chocolate store, but is easy to achieve at home.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Process the cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs. Transfer to a medium bowl and add the cream cheese. Stir and work with a wooden spoon until smooth and completely combined.
- Roll about two-thirds of the mixture into 16 balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and put on the prepared baking sheet. Roll the remaining mixture into 16 smaller balls (about 1 teaspoon each). Freeze until just beginning to firm up, about 15 minutes.
- Press a small truffle onto each large truffle to make snowmen, then press a lollipop stick through the top of each snowman so that it sits up with the stick coming out of the head (it's ok if the truffles crack during this step; just form them back together with your fingers). Put the baking sheet in the freezer while you heat the melting wafers.
- Microwave the melting wafers and 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl on 50 percent power in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. (Alternatively, melt in a double boiler.) Add another teaspoon of coconut oil if the mixture is too thick.
- Holding a snowman by the stick, dip it into the white coating mixture to coat completely, letting as much excess drip off as possible. Return to the baking sheet. While the coating is still wet, press an orange candy onto the head for a nose. Press 2 mini candy-coated chocolates onto the sides of the head for earmuffs. Repeat with the remaining snowmen. Refrigerate until the coating is set, about 5 minutes.
- Wrap a sour belt strip around the neck of each snowman, using a dot of the coating mixture as glue to secure it.
- Combine the chocolate chips, 1 teaspoon coconut oil and 1/2 teaspoon black food coloring in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted. Transfer to a piping bag or a resealable plastic bag and snip off the corner. Pipe on the eyes and a band connecting the earmuffs over the top of each head. Pipe 3 buttons down the front of each snowman's body. Refrigerate until completely set, about 10 minutes.

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pulse the cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs. Remove 2 tablespoons crumbs to a small bowl and reserve. Add the cream cheese and pulse until it just comes together. Transfer to a large bowl and knead a few times until completely combined.
- Roll into 24 balls, each about 2 heaping tablespoons. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until chilled through, about 45 minutes.
- Put the semisweet chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl with 1 tablespoon oil. Put the white chocolate chips in another medium heatproof bowl with the remaining tablespoon oil. Melt the chocolate mixtures one at a time, stirring occasionally, over a double boiler until smooth.
- Drop one truffle at a time into the semisweet chocolate mixture, using two forks to evenly coat. Tap any excess chocolate off, then return to the baking sheet. Drizzle with the white chocolate mixture, then quickly sprinkle with the reserved cookie crumbs. Continue until all the truffles are coated and decorated. Return to the refrigerator to set, about 5 minutes. Serve chilled.

Steps:
- Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
- Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
- Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
Tips:
- Use high-quality Oreo cookies for the best flavor. The original Oreo cookies are recommended, but you can also use other flavors such as mint or chocolate peanut butter.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened before mixing it with the other ingredients. This will help create a smooth and creamy filling.
- If the mixture is too soft to roll into balls, add more crushed Oreo cookie crumbs until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Be careful not to over-dip the Oreo balls in the almond bark. A thin coating is all that is needed.
- If you don't have almond bark, you can use melted chocolate chips instead.
- For a more festive look, decorate the Oreo balls with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or mini chocolate chips.
Conclusion:
These Oreo balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with family and friends, and they are also a great way to use up leftover Oreo cookies.
