  • Yield: 10–12 snowmen (20–24 truffle balls)
  • Category: Dessert
  • Method: No-Bake
  • Cuisine: American
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Ingredients

  • 6 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups crushed vanilla sandwich cookies or white cake crumbs
  • 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
  • Mini chocolate chips or black edible pearls (for eyes and buttons)
  • Orange sprinkles or icing (for noses)
  • Colored icing, fondant, or sprinkles (for scarves and hats)
  • Lollipop sticks or toothpicks (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  2. Stir in crushed cookies or cake crumbs until a soft dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into balls, making two sizes for each snowman—one small for the head and one larger for the body.
  4. Place the balls on a tray and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  5. Melt white chocolate or candy melts until smooth.
  6. Dip each ball in the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place on parchment paper to set.
  7. Once set, attach a small ball to a large one using melted chocolate or a toothpick.
  8. Decorate with mini chocolate chips or edible pearls for eyes and buttons, orange sprinkles or icing for noses, and fondant or icing for scarves and hats.
  9. Let decorated truffles set completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use chocolate sandwich cookies for a cookies-and-cream variation.
  • Chill thoroughly before dipping and assembling to maintain shape.
  • Add crushed candy canes for a peppermint twist.
  • Color white chocolate for pastel snowmen variations.
  • Fondant works great for detailed decorations like earmuffs or hats.
