Method
Step 1
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
Step 2
- Place the Oreo cookies (the 36 for the base) into a food processor or blender. Pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. You can also crush them in a plastic bag with a rolling pin if you don’t have a processor.
Step 3
- Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and blend or mix with a spatula until a smooth, thick dough forms. The mixture should be easy to roll but not sticky.
Step 4
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture until you have about 20–24 truffles. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
- Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or in the freezer for 15 minutes, until firm.
Step 6
- While the truffles chill, prepare the bat wings. Twist apart the remaining 20 Oreos carefully. Use a sharp knife to cut each cookie half in half again to form small “bat wings.” Set them aside on a tray.
Step 7
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy. If needed, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to make it easier to dip.
Step 8
- Remove the chilled truffles from the fridge. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Let excess chocolate drip off before placing back on the parchment-lined tray.
Step 9
- Before the chocolate hardens, press two bat wings into the sides of each truffle. Make sure they’re angled slightly upward for a cute flying look.
Step 10
- Add two candy eyes to the front of each truffle while the coating is still wet.
Step 11
- If desired, sprinkle the tops lightly with mini chocolate chips or sprinkles for added texture and fun.
Step 12
- Repeat for all truffles, working quickly before the coating sets.
Step 13
- Place the tray in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully harden.
Step 14
- Optional — Use leftover melted chocolate in a piping bag to drizzle over the top of the bats for a decorative touch.
Step 15
- Once set, remove from the fridge and gently peel the truffles off the parchment paper.
Step 16
- Arrange your Spooky Oreo Truffle Bats on a serving platter and get ready for the compliments to come flying in!
Notes
🧊 Storage & Reheating

– For longer storage, freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
– Keep them chilled until ready to serve to maintain shape and firmness.
