Ingredients
Oreos – Use a food processor to crush up the Oreo cookies. Or place the Oreos in a bag and use a rolling pin to crush the cookies to a fine crumble.
Cream Cheese – Room temperature cream cheese is a must, otherwise, it will not cream together properly.
Vanilla – Vanilla extract will help to sweeten up the Oreo balls even more.
Chocolate – Melting chocolate works great at creating the perfect smooth dipping coating for the truffles.
Crisco – Shortening is going to help the chocolate to be dippable and it will work great for setting up hard.
Candy Eyes – Reach for candy eyes for decorating the bat. These are found in the baking aisle.
Variations
- Use colored chocolate to dip the bats in if you want. Orange, black, etc.
- Instead of round circles consider using an oval shape for a bit of a different look.
- Add some chocolate sprinkles to add more texture to the bat.
- You can top the bat with crushed Oreos to mimic fir if you want.
- Use white chocolate and black candy melts for drawing on eyes instead of candy eyes.

Tips for Success
Bat Wings
Use a sharp knife to slice the Oreo cookie in half to create evenly shaped wings. This is going to help with the presentation value.
Chill Oreo Mixture
Once you mix up the Oreo truffle mixture cover and refrigerate. Once it is set up when you go to dip it will keep the balls nice and firm and not alter the texture of the Oreo balls.
Melting Chocolate or Candy Melts
Whether you melt chocolate or candy melts, you will heat in short cycles and then stir well in between heat cycles. This will ensure you get a smooth chocolate for dipping perfectly.
Add Decorations Quickly
You will add the candy eyes and wings to the bats one at a time. This is important as the chocolate will set up quickly.
Parchment Paper
I recommend using parchment paper for placing the bats on as you are assembling them. This will help ensure the bats don’t stick to a tray or pan.
Single Row Stacking
I recommend not stacking your Halloween Oreo truffles as it can break off the bat wings. If you do decide to stack use parchment paper or wax paper to prevent the bats from sticking together.
Your Bat Oreo Truffles are ready to make a haunting appearance at your Halloween festivities. These deliciously creepy treats will surely leave everyone bewitched by their eerie appearance and scrumptious taste.
Whether you’re hosting a party or just looking for a fun Halloween activity, these bat truffles are a guaranteed hit.

Storing
Refrigerate – You are going to want to refrigerate the Oreo truffles. Place in a sealed airtight container for up to a week. These are best eaten within the first few days.
Freezer – Freeze the Oreo truffles to extend their life. Just place it in a freezer container and freeze it for 3-4 months. Then when you are ready, thaw in the fridge or eat them frozen.
Don’t forget to decorate your serving plate with some Halloween-themed sprinkles or candy corn to add an extra touch of festive flair. So gather your little ghouls and get ready for a bat-terrific treat that perfectly captures the spooky spirit of Halloween! Enjoy!

Bat Oreo Truffles are a cream cheese and Oreo truffle that is dipped in chocolate and has Oreo cookie wings. These are a fun no bake bat dessert.
Ingredients
- 24 Oreos finely crushed
- 6 oz cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups chocolate melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon crisco shortening
- 12 Oreo wafers only cream discarded broken in half
- Small candy eyes
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine oreos, cream cheese and vanilla extract. Mix with an eclectic hand or stand mixer for 1-2 minutes until fully combined and one dough-like mixture is formed.
Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop dough from the bowl and form into an even, smooth, round ball using the palms of your hands. Place each ball on a large cookie sheet prepared with parchment paper.
Place a cookie sheet inside the refrigerator to chill for 2 hours.
Near the end of the chill time, begin to prepare the melting wafers. Place the wafers in a microwave safe bowl and heat on 50% power or on defrost mode for 1 minute. Stir with a fork and add the crisco. Return to the microwave for additional 30 seconds bursts, stirring in between, until smooth and silky. It should have the consistency of dressing.
Dip the oreo balls inside the chocolate using two forks or dipping tools, coating it completely before adding it back on the cookie sheet. Be sure to scrape the bottoms of your forks or dipping tools to remove any excess chocolate. You can also gently sling the ball from side to side to remove any excess.
Immediately add two wafer halves to either side of the chocolate covered ball. Gently press the tips of the wafers into the ball at the same time until you feel the wafer penetrate the ball. You will stick it in about ½ inch deep. And it should stay on it’s on.
Add two small candy eyes next before continuing the process with the remaining oreo balls.
Once all bats are assembled, return to the refrigerator to chill for another 30 minutes before serving.
