Bat Oreo Truffles- Easy Halloween Treat

Halloween is a little extra sweet when you have a batch of these Bat Oreo Truffles! Oreo cookies are blended with cream cheese. The base is then dipped in melted chocolate and finished off with candies!
THIS is a One Sweet Appetite original.
Bat Oreo Truffle Tutorial
I have seen copies around the web. But let me tell you… these little cuties originated right here. They are my pride and joy. Super adorable and perfect for a spooky treat! If you are local you may have seen me make these on the local news! They have invited me back several times to share the easy tutorial. Why?
Because it is SO EASY. Follow the tutorial below and find out how to make these:
All of the magic starts with my Oreo Truffles. Whip up a batch and we can get started!
Alternatively, you could use cake balls. I prefer the truffle because you only need two ingredients and a blender. You can have them ready in under 10 minutes. And they taste amazing.
Once you have those beauties rolled and ready for the fridge it is time to gather materials.
Ingredients to Make Halloween Truffles:
You will need:
- Brown or Chocolate Candy Melts- Melted according to the package directions.
- Edible eyes- Can be found in craft stores or the baking aisle of most grocers.
- Mini chocolate chips- These will be the cute little ears.
- Wax paper- or parchment. Wax paper is easier to see through to make your wings.
- Ziploc bag- Or a pipping bag. Something to help you pipe the chocolate into the wing shape.
How to make Oreo truffle bats:
- Draw out a few small wing shapes onto a piece of paper.
- Lay a piece of wax paper over the top of your stencil and tape it to the table top.
- Add a small handful of candy melts to a sandwich bag. Microwave in 15 second intervals until fully melted.
- Snip a small corner off of the bag and pipe the chocolate following the stencil.
- Allow to set for a few minutes, or speed up the process by gently placing them into the fridge.
Once your wings have set and the truffles have cooled it is time to move to the next step. Melt the remaining candy melts in a deep but small bowl.
Working quickly, dip one truffle into the chocolate. Make sure you cover it completely. Transfer to a sheet of wax paper. Place two wings, eyes, and mini chocolate chips in their correct spots.
Let sit until the chocolate has set.
And that, my friends, is the gist of it. Repeat with your remaining truffles.

Tips for working with chocolate
- Work quickly. Lay out all of your toppings and be ready to add them to the truffle fast.
- Reheat as needed. If you notice that your chocolate is starting to thicken you will need to heat it again. Place it in the microwave for 15 seconds and stir well.
- Make the wings thicker to avoid them breaking when you place them onto the truffles.
- Run your hands under ice cold water and quickly dry. This will help give you a few more seconds to handle the chocolate without it melting to your warm fingers.
Isn’t this little guy adorable? Or more like adorably delicious?? I have to say… I do love these fluttery little creatures. It was almost hard for me to eat them. Almost. These would be great to hand out to teachers, friends, family… Anyone that you might want to pass out a treat that is just extra special. Who can go wrong with Oreo’s?

These are so cute!! Do you have a copy of the bat wing template that I can print out?
Hi Elizabeth, I don’t have one to print off yet but found one for you here: https://www.firstpalette.com/printable/bat-wings.html
Hi there!
I am planning to make these for the office, but I was wondering if the little bats can sit out at room temperature? Not sure if the truffle/dough will get too soft, or maybe the chocolate coating and/or wings will melt/fall off? Do they need to stay stored in the fridge once they are all decorated and ready?
Thank you
These were so fun to make! I need a little more practice, but ours were still obviously bats.
These are adorable! Cant wait to try them out this holiday season!!
Wow, nice creation, cutest bat ever..
These are so adorable!! Pinned & would love to try to make these.
You should follow me on Periscope (@1sweetappetite). I’ll be doing a video mid September with step by step instructions.
What an adorable idea! And what a great way to make the bat wings! We featured this cute recipe in our Featured Friday post last week for Halloween Desserts!
These are so stinkin’ cute! I’m making these right now!
Let me know how they turn out!
Just seen these on Pinterest and they are adorable! Can’t wait to try and make them, my son will think they are awesome!
the link for the recipe for the truffles says file not found, I did a search and it keeps this page popping off, so anyway we can get the recipe and directions
I’ll look into that. Sorry!
How did u get the wings to stay on? They just keep melting in my hand before they get a chance to set.
My wings were a big fail as well, and time consuming! I don’t see how anyone gets them to stay on–as soon as I take them out of the refrigerator, they melt.
cutest thing!!! I love their little ears – ahhh!
I love this idea! We make the Oreo truffles often, this is a great way to dress them up for Halloween…
We’re crazy about Oreos, must try your truffles recipe. Adorable creatures!
Love them. So making these this year!
These are so stinkin adorable! I love the wings and the cute little eyes. Pinned!
Oh my!! I am in love with these little guys. You are so amazing my friend.
Oh my gosh these are the cutest things ever! Love!
These are so cute! And I love oreo truffles, so win win! Where can I buy edible eyes?
I found mine at Smiths but I’ve heard wal-mart, Michael’s, and Hobby Lobby have them as well.
You can also make them with royal icing 🙂
That would probably be less messy than the chocolate! Great tip.
These may be the cutest thing I’ve very seen!
So, so cute! You are so clever. I bet your son loved them!!
adorable as always!
Oh my goodness! These are adorable!
I love this! So cute and looks so good! Pinning now!
YOur creativity kills me! This is absolutely ADORABLE!! I love, love, LOVE it!! Those bats are so cute. I’m not a huge fan of Halloween.. I wonder if that will change when I have kids??
