OREOS: You could also make the truffles with Oreos instead of Nutter Butters.

COLORS: Change up the decorating colors for fun customizations.

COCONUT: Add a little shredded coconut to the serving dish to make it look like they’re sitting in freshly fallen snow.

TOOTHPICKS: If your snowmen are having a hard time standing, you can use a toothpick in the middle to help prop them up.

How To Make This Snowmen Truffles Recipe

STEP ONE: To assemble the hats, melt the regular chocolate in a double boiler with ½ teaspoon shortening. Then twist the Oreos in half and scrape off the filling. Dip a mini marshmallow in the chocolate and place it on top of the Oreo. Let chill in the refrigerator for 10 minutes, then dip the whole hat in the chocolate. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let sit until ready to assemble.

STEP TWO: To make the snowmen, place the Nutter Butters in a food processor and pulse until fine biscuit crumbs.

STEP THREE: Pour into the large bowl of a stand mixer and add cream cheese. Mix until the dough comes together and forms a ball.

STEP FOUR: Scoop twelve 2-inch balls and roll them into even balls in the palm of your hands to form the bodies.

STEP FIVE: Scoop twelve 1-inch balls and roll them into even balls to form the heads.

STEP SIX: Place on a cookie tray lined with parchment paper and place in the freezer for 30 minutes.

STEP SEVEN: While the snowmen are freezing, add the white melting chocolate to a double boiler with 1 teaspoon of shortening. Stir as it starts to melt. Once melted, keep the water simmering on low so the chocolate doesn’t burn.

STEP EIGHT: Remove the snowmen from the freezer. Dip the heads in the chocolate and then place the smaller ball on the bodies. Return to the prepared baking sheet and into the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.

STEP NINE: Remove from the freezer and dip the whole snowman in the white chocolate. Place the baking tray in the refrigerator to allow them to set.

STEP TEN: Transfer the regular chocolate to a piping bag or sandwich bag and cut just the tip off. It needs to be a very small hole, so it doesn’t rush out and to allow you to make small dots for the eyes, mouth, and buttons. Pipe on the eyes, mouth, buttons, and arms.

STEP ELEVEN: Melt the orange candy melts and place it in a piping bag. Cut a very small tip off and pipe on the snowman’s carrot nose.

STEP TWELVE: Use the regular chocolate to glue the hats on top of each snowman. Tie the small piece of licorice around the neck of each snowman as the scarf.

Storage

IN THE FRIDGE: While these snowmen technically don’t need to be refrigerated and are fine at room temperature if you are giving them as gifts. If you are making them ahead, you should store them in the fridge for up to four days so that none of the chocolate gets too warm.

IN THE FREEZER: These snowmen can be stored in an airtight container in the freezer for up to a month.

Enjoy time with your family this holiday season and make these cute truffles together. With a handful of simple ingredients, Nutter Butter cookies, and some imagination, you will have a new tradition to love!

• 24 ounces white melting chocolates
• 6 ounces orange melting chocolates
• 2 pull apart red licorice candies, pulled apart to make 12 scarves

Notes

• This would be a great project to do as a family, you could give each family member different colors to work with for their snowmen.
• You could also make just snowmen faces instead of stacking the bodies together if you would rather.
• Adding shortening helps the chocolate get smooth and even.
• Icing pens would also work to draw the snowman’s face and arms.
