Storage Tips
To keep your Gluten-Free Snowman Oreo Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, making them a convenient make-ahead dessert option. If you want to enjoy them later, consider freezing them. Simply place the balls in a freezer-safe container, separating layers with parchment paper, and they can last for up to three months.
When you're ready to enjoy frozen Oreo balls, simply thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. The chocolate coating will remain intact, and the filling will still be deliciously creamy.
Nutritional Information
These festive treats are a delightful indulgence, but it's important to enjoy them in moderation. Each snowman Oreo ball is rich in flavor and provides a satisfying sweet treat. Depending on the size you make them, be mindful of the portion sizes, especially if you are watching your sugar intake.
If you're looking to make them a bit healthier, consider using dark chocolate melts instead of white chocolate. Dark chocolate not only adds a rich flavor but also contains antioxidants that can be beneficial for your health.
