Melting Snowmen OREO Cookie Balls

I love OREOs, and they are easily my favorite cookie from the grocery store. I’m addicted to Golden Double Stuf OREOs.

I am also quite passionate about the Golden Birthday Cake OREO Cookies (all-time fave), and I’m in love with the limited edition Pumpkin Spice flavor. They are fantastic. Pumpkin Spice is a tough flavor to pull off so that it tastes authentic, but these cookies nail it.

But there’s something to be said for the original OREO Cookies too, and I’ve always enjoyed making them into OREO Cookie Balls. The recipe is so simple and easy. There’s only a handful of ingredients, and no oven required. Cookie crumbs mixed with cream cheese, rolled into balls, and dunked in chocolate – what’s not to love?

The recipe is also very versatile. You can use any flavor of OREO Cookies and you can decorate them for any occasion. You could decorate them into footballs or football helmets for game day parties, turkeys for Thanksgiving, or dip them into orange sprinkles to make pumpkins. There’s so many possibilities.

When I was making them over the weekend, the first idea that came to mind for decorating these OREO Cookie Balls was snowmen. Interesting, since it was Halloween weekend. Also, it was basically a heat wave here in FL.. it felt like summer. Really, could’ve been middle of July for how hot and muggy it was outside. Yet, my mind was on snowmen.

Well, that’s why I dubbed these ‘melting’ snowmen though! It felt more fitting, considering the heat.

It only took a few days for me to feel like I can get into the right mindset for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Even three days ago, I wasn’t ready, and I couldn’t believe it was November, but now that Halloween is over, I’m ready for the upcoming holidays. I really think a lot of it had to do with making these OREO Cookie Balls.

They are cute and festive, and it got me excited for all sorts of holiday activities… movies, baking, decorating, all of it. Besides that they’re simple and delicious, making a batch of these might put you right in the holiday spirit!
