- 1 cup (120 g) crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Oreos)
- ¼ cup (60 g) cream cheese, softened
Flavor/Coating Ingredients:
- ½ cup (80 g) crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
- Pulverize chocolate sandwich cookies and peppermint candies into fine crumbs within a spacious mixing vessel.
- Introduce softened cream cheese into the cookie-peppermint mixture, kneading thoroughly to create a cohesive, moldable texture.
- Drizzle molten white chocolate throughout the blend, stirring meticulously to ensure uniform distribution of ingredients.
- Craft compact spherical formations using gentle hand pressure or a miniature scoop, aiming for consistent one-inch diameter orbs.
- Delicately enrobe each snowball in a generous dusting of powdered sugar, rotating to achieve complete coverage.
- Arrange the sugar-coated confections onto a parchment-lined tray, then transfer to refrigeration for a minimum of 60 minutes to solidify structural integrity.
- Upon achieving desired firmness, present the chilled peppermint bark snowballs immediately or preserve within a sealed container in the refrigerator for future enjoyment.
Notes
- Swap cookies to accommodate dietary needs like gluten-free or vegan sandwich cookies for a personalized treat.
- Crush peppermint candies finely to ensure smooth texture and even distribution throughout the snowballs.
- Control sweetness by adjusting the amount of powdered sugar coating or using alternative sugar substitutes.
- Enhance flavor complexity by adding a tiny drop of peppermint extract for an extra minty kick in the mixture.
