When there’s a snowman hanging around, I’m sure there are plenty of snowballs within the area. Since what we had is a Snowman Cheeseball, a completely edible and delicious cold-but-not-snow creation, our snowballs turned out to be Coconut Snowballs, also a completely edible orb of make-believe snow.
I originally wanted to make snowball cookies but due to the extremely tedious snowman-themed dishes that sis and I are preparing, I decided I don’t want to bake. I just made my Oreo Truffles, rolled in into coconuts, sprinkled some sugar crystals.. and Voila! — Easy snowballs!
This is so delicious too! Highly addictive, you won’t stop eating till it’s gone.

- Author: The Peach Kitchen
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pack Oreo cookies, that’s around 24 pieces
- ¾ cup or ¾ of a pack of cream cheese {I used Philadelphia}
- 1 cup White chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1 tbsp canola oil
- shredded coconuts and white sugar crystals
Instructions
- Remove Oreo fillings. I think it’s too sweet if you include them in the truffles.
- Use a food processor to crush oreo cookies. I don’t have a food processor so I just imagined the face of somebody I’m not so fond of to crush Oreos manually.
- Stir in softened cream cheese with the crushed oreos. Use the back of a large spoon to help mash the two together.
- Roll the mixture into 1″ balls and place on a plate or a plastic container.
- Refrigerate for a few hours. I let mine sit in the fridge overnight.They will look like those yummy oreo balls below.
- Combine white chocolate chips and canola oil.
- Melt white chocolate chips using double broiler or microwave.
- Dip oreo balls into white chocolate, tap off the excess.
- Roll into shredded coconuts and white sugar crystals.
- Set aside on a wax-paper-lined cookie sheet to dry.
- Refrigerate for a couple of hours before serving.

I don’t like coconuts! 😛 But those look and sound so yummy and it’s made of oreos too! awesome!
HAHAHA! I love #2! I also don’t own a food processor! I will definitely do that as well when I try to attempt this, but will definitely look for an alternative to shredded coconuts. haha 😛

That reminds me of dunkin donuts, boy I miss it.
