Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Transfer the tray of cookie balls into the refrigerator and chill them for approximately 1 hour.
- While the cookie balls are chilling, grab some Oreo cookies and carefully cut them in half to create wings.
- Using a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate candy coating according to the package instructions.
- Remove the chilled cookie balls from the fridge. Carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- While the chocolate is still warm and pliable, gently press the Oreo halves into the sides of each ball to create bat wings.
- 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.
- Finally, let the decorated Bat Oreo Cookie Balls sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens.
