Additionally, you can experiment with the flavor profile by incorporating different types of chocolate.

Once your Gluten-Free Snowman Oreo Balls are ready and set, proper storage is essential to keep them fresh and delicious. Store the decorated balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. If you plan to make them ahead of time, you can also freeze them! Just remember to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. When you're ready to serve, simply allow them to thaw at room temperature for a while before indulging.

Serving these delightful treats is just as easy as making them. Arrange the snowman Oreo balls on a festive platter for a stunning centerpiece at your holiday gatherings. You can also package them in clear bags tied with ribbons for a charming homemade gift.
