How to Make Snowman Truffle Brownies
Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe
Step-by-Step Guide
1. Let us first prepare the snowman. Start by rolling the Pillsbury sugar cookie dough into 2-inch balls. Pop those dough balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes; this makes them easier to dip later.
2. While the dough is chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Do this in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until it’s all smooth and creamy.
3. Stack one ball on top of another to create your snowman shape, using a toothpick to secure them together. Once your dough balls are nice and firm, dip them into the melted white chocolate for an even coating.
4. Before the chocolate hardens, decorate with sprinkles for eyes, nose, and mouth, stick pretzel rod minis for arms, and add a candy scarf around the “neck.” Place your adorable snowmen on a tray and refrigerate to set.
5. Now let’s bake the brownies. Preheat your oven and prepare the brownies according to the package instructions. Once baked, let them cool completely before cutting them into squares.
6. Spread a generous layer of vanilla frosting on top of each brownie square. Then, carefully place a snowman truffle on top of each frosted brownie, securing them in place with a toothpick.
Serve and Enjoy!
Important Recipe Notes
- Chill the dough balls – Freezing the cookie dough balls before dipping makes them hold their shape and keeps the chocolate coating smooth. Don’t skip this step.
- White chocolate sets fast, so have your sprinkles, pretzels, and candy scarves ready before dipping.
- Let the brownies cool completely before frosting and adding the snowmen, otherwise the frosting will melt and everything will slide.
- Use toothpicks to help stack and attach the truffles. Just remind little ones to remove them before eating.
- You can bake the brownies and make the snowman truffles a day ahead. Store the truffles in the fridge and assemble just before serving.
- Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
