Melt the almond bark. Put the almond bark in a microwave safe bowl and cook in the microwave on 30 second increments until the chocolate is fully melted.
1 lb white almond bark or white melting chocolate
Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Place 12 quarter sized drops of white chocolate so the cookies can fit on them. Space each drop about 2 inches apart.
Place an Oreo cookie on to each drop of white chocolate.
12 Golden Oreos
As soon as the cookie is placed onto the drop of white chocolate, use a spoon to pour white chocolate over the top of the cookie. Make sure the cookie is completely covered including the sides.
Put a half gumdrop onto each side of the cookies. Then with the Twizzler, pull a small piece off and place it over and around each gumdrop to make earmuffs for the snowman.

Then make little buttons with the mini M&Ms.

With the cookie icing, pipe on two eyes with the black icing and a nose with the orange icing.

Let the chocolate set before serving. This can be done at room temperature or in the fridge for faster setting.
Notes
Avoid white chocolate chips as best you can. They’re a fine alternative in a pinch, but white almond bark or melting chocolate melts much better and has a brighter white color than chocolate chips do.Don’t forget to line the baking sheet with parchment paper. They’re much easier to peel off and make it easier to clean up.Skip the gumdrop earmuffs and opt for mini Reese’s peanut butter cups to use as a hat instead! Or do some of each.Use any flavor of the Oreo cookie you prefer. The Golden vanilla is lighter in color but any will do. You could even use a winter flavored one like red velvet, mint, or peppermint!Store-bought icing is great because it hardens and sets very quickly.
