🔪 How to Make Oreo Bat Truffles
Making this oreo dessert recipe only takes about 30 minutes. A little mixing, melting, and dabbing is all it takes!
Step 1: Prep
Slice about 15 Oreos in half and remove the frosting. Crush the remaining Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor.
Step 2: Make the Truffles
Combine the crushed Oreos, vanilla, and cream cheese in a mixing bowl until thoroughly mixed. Then form balls by rolling them into a 1 1/2-tablespoon ball and chill for about 30 minutes.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate Coating
Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 30-second intervals until it’s fully melted. Then, add paramount crystals to thin it out.
Step 4: Coat the Truffles
Remove the chilled balls from the refrigerator. Then, using a spoon, roll the balls individually in the chocolate, fully coating them, and place them on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all truffles are coated.
Step 5: Decorate the Truffles
Immediately press an Oreo half into each side of the truffles to look like wings. Hold them in place for a few seconds to ensure they don’t fall off. Add 2 mini chocolate chips to the top of each truffle for ears. Chill for 15 minutes. Finally, add a small drop of melted chocolate to the back of two candy eyes and place them on the front of each truffle. Enjoy!

- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups Milk Chocolate Chips or candy melts
- Paramount Crystals
- Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by slicing about 15 Oreos in half and remove the frosting. It’s very easy to crumble the cookies, so cut them by dragging the knife across the cookies until they slice in half.

- Roll into1.5 tablespoon balls and chill for about 30 minutes in the fridge.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 30 second increments, stirring in between until the chocolate is melted.
- Add paramount crystals to the chocolate to thin out the chocolate – your chocolate will go farther if it is thinner.
- Using a spoon, roll the balls individually into the chocolate and place them on a baking tray. Allow them to sit for a few minutes, and then carefully press in the oreo halves – one on each side. You may need to hold them for a few seconds to make sure they don’t fall off.
- Add the mini chocolate chips to the top of the ball for the ears.
- Allow the balls to chill in the fridge for about 15 minutes.
- Then, add a small drop of chocolate to the back of the eyes. And apply eyes to the front of the bat and let dry
