How to prepare Snowmen Truffles

Ingredients:
- 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies

Steps:
Mix Oreo and Cream Cheese: In a bowl, mix the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese. Stir until well combined.
Shape the Truffles: Take small pieces of the mixture and roll them into balls. You can make them any size you like, but about an inch is a good choice.
Chill the Truffles: Place the truffle balls on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Chill them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.
Melt the White Chocolate: While the truffles are cooling, melt some white chocolate chips in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth.
Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle in the melted white chocolate and coat it completely. Allow excess chocolate to fall off.
Decorate the Snowmen: Use mini chocolate chips for eyes, an orange candy for the nose, and pretzel sticks for arms. Get creative with your designs!
Let It Set: Put the decorated truffles back on the wax paper. Let them sit until the chocolate hardens.
