If you’re like me, you know that the magic of Christmas isn’t just in the twinkling lights, cozy sweaters, and carols echoing through the house. It’s also in the kitchen—where delightful treats come to life and bring smiles to friends and family. This year, I’m sharing one of my favorite last-minute holiday treats that’s as fun to make as it is to eat: Melted Snowman Cookie Dough Bites! ✨🎂

Imagine a snowman—not just any snowman, but one you can actually eat! With edible cookie dough, silky white chocolate ganache, and a candy hat that would make Frosty proud, these little bites will melt hearts faster than snowflakes on your nose. The best part? You can whip them up in 30 minutes flat. Perfect for busy holiday bakers or those spontaneous, “I need a cute dessert NOW” moments.

This recipe is specially portioned for 6 servings (but trust me, you’ll want seconds… and thirds). So gather your favorite festive playlist, grab your apron, and let’s build some snowmen before they melt away!

🧐 The Melted Snowman Cookie Dough Bites Ingredients ✨

For our adorable snowman bites, here’s what you’ll need:

Cookie Dough Snowmen

• 1/2 cup store-bought or homemade edible cookie dough (your favorite flavor!)
• 6 mini Oreos
• 1/2 cup (60 g) white chocolate chips
• 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil (for that smooth ganache magic)
• 12 Rolo chocolate candies (2 per snowman)
• 6 snowflake sprinkles (optional, but cute!)
• Black and orange pearl sprinkles (for decorating the snowman’s face)

❄️ Let’s Make Some Melted Snowman Cookie Dough Bites! ⛄️

Here’s a step-by-step guide to bringing your snowmen to life (and then eating them, guilt-free).

Step 1: Prep the Cookie Dough

Portion the edible cookie dough into 1-tablespoon-sized scoops. Roll them into balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. You should have 6 snowmen heads. Pop them in the freezer for about 10 to 15 minutes to firm up. ❄️

Step 2: Build the Hats

While the cookie dough chills, separate the mini Oreos and scrape off the frosting (I call it a chef’s snack—no judgment here!). Melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil together in the microwave. Heat in 15-second bursts, stirring in between, until it’s smooth and glossy.

• Dip the smaller end of each Rolo candy into the melted chocolate.
• Attach the Rolo to the flat side of a mini Oreo to create an adorable top hat.
• If you’re using snowflake sprinkles, add a touch of ganache to the rim where the Oreo meets the Rolo and stick one on for extra flair. ❄️✨

Step 3: Make the Ganache Bases

Spoon 1-inch diameter rounds of melted white chocolate ganache onto another parchment-lined baking sheet. These will serve as the melted snow puddles. (You’ll have some ganache left—perfect for touch-ups or drizzling later!)

Step 4: Decorate the Snowman Heads

Take the chilled cookie dough balls and dip them into the melted white chocolate using a fork. Tap off the excess and gently press each ball into a round ganache base. Before the chocolate sets:

• Place 2 black sugar pearls as the eyes.
• Add an orange sugar pearl for the carrot nose.
• Arrange 3 to 4 black pearls into a sweet little smile.
• Top your snowman with the Oreo-Rolo hat you made earlier. ⛄️✨

Step 5: Let Them Set

Allow the chocolate to firm up at room temperature for about 15 to 20 minutes. If you’re in a hurry (or impatient like me), pop the snowmen in the fridge for a quicker set.

🎄Melted Snowman Cookie Dough Bites The Perfect Holiday Treat ✨

When you’re done, you’ll have six of the most charming little melted snowmen you’ve ever seen—almost too cute to eat! These bites are a guaranteed hit at any holiday gathering, whether you’re hosting a Christmas party or looking for a fun activity with the kids. ⛄️

Pro Tip: If you’re doubling this recipe for a larger crowd, it’s easy to scale up. Just make extra ganache, and you’ll have a whole snowman army ready to impress!

For another festive option, the Mascarpone Raspberry Yule Log elevates the traditional bûche de Noël with its rich mascarpone filling and tart raspberry accent. The combination of smooth mascarpone cheese and bright raspberries creates a sophisticated flavor profile that complements the chocolate sponge, while maintaining the same impressive visual appeal as our pumpkin version. Both alternatives share the same rolling technique as our coconut-pumpkin creation but offer different flavor experiences for your dessert table, allowing you to adapt to various seasons and occasions while maintaining that wow factor that roll cakes are known for.
