Snowman Oreos
These delicious and adorable snowman Oreos balls make for a clever Christmas gift for neighbors and teachers. They are also delicious - but only if you love Oreos!
Equipment
- 1 Silicone mold
Ingredients
- 24 oz White Candy Melts
- 20 Oreos
- 3 tbsp Vegetable oil Possibly a little more or less
- 1 Black icing in a tube
- 1 Orange icing in a tube
Instructions
- Add candy melts to microwave safe bowl. Use the defrost setting and melt for 1 min. Remove bowl and stir. Continue to melt using the defrost setting in 30 second increments stirring after each time until chocolate is smooth and glossy.*
- Place 1 Tbsp of melted chocolate into each mold and use the back of a spoon to coat the sides.
- After all sides are coated in each mold, pick up mold and tap on the surface until chocolate mixture runs down the sides and fully coats the bottom. This may take 15 - 20 taps on the surface.
- Place molds in the refrigerator to harden for 5 minutes.
- Remove molds and place an Oreo in the middle of each cup.
- Place 1 Tbsp of chocolate on each oreo and use the spoon to push the chocolate over the edges of the cookie.
- Pick up the mold and tap again until the chocolate appears to have coated the space between the cookie and the sides of the mold.
- Place 1 Tbsp on top of the cookie to add the final layer. Use a spoon to smooth out the top.**
- Tap the mold on the surface again to work out any air bubbles.
- Place back in the refrigerator for approximately 15 - 20 minutes or until the chocolate has fully hardened.
- Remove cookies from each mold.
- Use icing to decorate the snowmen faces and allow to dry.***
Notes
*If chocolate seems thick you can add 2 tsp of vegetable oil per bag of candy melts to create a thinner consistency. Do not add water to thin out chocolate mixture.
**If you want a thick layer of chocolate surrounding the oreo, fill chocolate to the top of the mold. If you want a thinner layer, add less chocolate on top of the cookie.
***If planning to give these away as gifts/treats, be sure to decorate with a tube of decorating icing. A tube of decorating gel will not harden and the snowman will smudge when transporting.
