Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Graham Cracker Mixture

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Creamy Vanilla Filling

  • 1 cup cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup whipped topping

Chocolate Coating & Decorations

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows (for decoration)
  • Edible eyes or chocolate chips (for snowman faces)
  • 1/4 cup orange candy pieces or carrot shavings (for noses)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Dry Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
  2. Form Dough Base: Add the softened unsalted butter and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Use a spatula or your hands to blend everything into a thick, dough-like consistency.
  3. Make Creamy Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream while mixing continuously until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  4. Incorporate Whipped Topping: Gently fold the whipped topping into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a creamy vanilla filling.
  5. Shape Snowman Bodies: Take small portions of the chocolate graham cracker dough and roll them into round balls of varying sizes to create the snowman shapes.
  6. Assemble Base Layer: Place the larger balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet to form the base layers of the snowmen.
  7. Stack Snowmen: Place smaller balls atop the larger ones to build complete snowman figures. Repeat until all are formed.
  8. Chill Snowmen: Refrigerate the snowmen for about 30 minutes to firm their structure and make them easier to handle for coating.
  9. Prepare Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine semi-sweet chocolate chips with coconut oil.
  10. Melt Chocolate: Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  11. Dip Snowmen: Remove the chilled snowmen from the refrigerator and carefully dip each into the melted chocolate, fully covering them. Use a fork to lift them out and let excess chocolate drip off.
  12. Decorate: Return the chocolate-covered snowmen to the parchment-lined sheet and immediately decorate with mini marshmallows for buttons, edible eyes or chocolate chips for faces, and orange candy pieces or carrot shavings for noses.
  13. Final Chill: Refrigerate the decorated snowmen for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set firmly.
  14. Serve: Serve the decadent chocolate-covered dirty snowmen chilled or at room temperature and enjoy this festive, creamy dessert.

Notes

  • Make sure the butter and cream cheese are softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • You can substitute the orange candy pieces with small carrot shavings for a natural alternative.
  • For a firmer chocolate coating, add a bit more coconut oil to the melting chocolate.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
