🍫 Ingredients You’ll Need

20 Oreo cookies (cream removed)
3 tablespoons melted butter
3 tablespoons cream cheese (softened)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate cereal (like Cocoa Krispies or small flakes)
Powdered sugar, for dusting

👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

Crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine and crumbly.
Add melted butter, cream cheese, cocoa powder, and vanilla. Mix until a soft dough forms.
Shape small pine cone bases using your hands — like an egg or teardrop shape.
Press cereal pieces (pointy side out) into the dough, layering from the bottom up to form the pine cone “scales.”
Refrigerate for 20–30 minutes to firm up.
Dust with powdered sugar to create a snowy effect.

And voilà! You’ve just made the cutest, most festive no-bake treats ever.

✨ A Slice of Nostalgia

There’s something special about holiday desserts that look like winter memories. When I made these Oreo pine cones, I instantly felt like a kid again — decorating cookies with family, snow falling outside, laughter filling the kitchen. Each little cone feels like a tiny, edible reminder of those cozy days.

🎨 Decoration Ideas

Add mini chocolate chips or edible pearls between the cereal layers.

You can make these Oreo Pine Cones up to 2 days in advance. Just store them in an airtight container in the fridge. The flavor develops beautifully overnight, and the texture becomes perfectly fudgy. Right before serving, dust with a fresh layer of powdered sugar for that just-snowed-look ❄️
