Storage Tips

To keep your Gluten-Free Snowman Oreo Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last for up to one week, allowing you to enjoy them throughout the holiday season. If you want to make them ahead of time, feel free to prepare them a few days in advance and store them until you’re ready to serve.

For longer storage, consider freezing them. Place the assembled balls on a baking sheet and freeze until solid. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container. They can be stored in the freezer for up to three months. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Serving Suggestions

When it comes to serving your Gluten-Free Snowman Oreo Balls, presentation is key. Arrange them on a festive platter and garnish with shredded coconut to mimic snow or place them on a bed of colorful sprinkles for an extra pop of color. This will not only enhance their appeal but also make them a conversation starter at your gatherings.

Consider pairing these delicious treats with other holiday favorites, such as gingerbread cookies or peppermint bark, for a delightful dessert spread. They also make excellent additions to holiday gift baskets, alongside hot chocolate mix or homemade cookies, ensuring your gifts are both thoughtful and tasty.
