Melting Snowmen Cookie Balls

rating
I made these for my son's kindergarten holiday social and they looked mighty cute. I had to use a different cookie since school treats need to be nut-free, so I used Golden Oreos. It worked out well and they taste delicious! My balls weren't quite as round and perfect as the picture's but it lends to the whole melting thing. I would also say that mine do not look as bright a white as the photograph would suggest....white chocolate is more ivory than true white....but they still look cute and taste super. They were a hit!

These are the cutest cookies ever! They were easy to make and looked adorable! I made them for a bake sale and they were gone in a flash. I have shared this recipe with many friends and co workers. I will be making these every year!!

So easy, my 8 year daughter made them for her class. You can use any type of cookie you want. The mixture of cream cheese with cookie is much better than using icing.

Very easy to make! I used my food processor to do the mixing, worked great! So cute too! Everyone at the Christmas party I went to commented how great they looked, and how good they were!

This was my first time making any kind of cookie ball - and I was impressed! I will admit that they don't really look anything like the picture, but they are still cute. Other receipies on here have said to use forks to dip, but if the balls sit out for too long the forks damage them (so they are not perfectly round). I used two sqewers to gently lift them out of the chocolate and onto the parchement paper, and they still aren't perfect. Also - don't be afraid to really coat them in the chocolate...otherwise there is not enough 'drip' for the melting snowman effect. I melted the chocolate in a double broiler and then left it on top so that the chocolate had contiuous heat and did not harden - worked great!! They taste amazing and a cute addition to my usual Christmas treats. I have added to receipe to my box and will be making them again next year.

I made these, but with Oreo cookies on the inside instead of the Pirate cookies. If you're an everyday person and you're trying to make them look as good as they are on the website...think again. Don't get your hopes up. Mine look more like goblins than snowmen. The balls are nowhere nearly this round, the chocolate drips off the balls and does not leave them completely white. I must admit, I'm not a very artistic person, but I tried hard and thought that they would turn out somewhat like the picture. :( They taste good, though. So that's what matters I guess...?

Recipe is so good if you have a sweet tooth! The snowmen are adorable and so easy to make and only had 2 dishes to clean when they were finished!
