Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing the Oreo cookies into a food processor. Pulse them until they turn into fine crumbs, achieving a sandy texture with no larger pieces. This should take about 30 seconds.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until the ingredients are well blended and form a sticky mixture that holds together easily. This may take about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball between your palms. Continue this process until all the mixture is used, placing each ball on a tray lined with parchment paper.
  4. Transfer the tray of cookie balls into the refrigerator and chill them for approximately 1 hour.
  5. While the cookie balls are chilling, grab some Oreo cookies and carefully cut them in half to create wings.
  6. Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions.
  7. Remove the chilled cookie balls from the fridge. Carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
  8. While the chocolate is still warm and pliable, gently press the Oreo halves into the sides of each ball to create bat wings.
  9. Using any extra melted chocolate, attach mini chocolate chips to the front of each cookie ball as eyes, and attach additional mini chips at the top to represent ears.
  10. Finally, let the decorated Bat Oreo Cookie Balls sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
