Ingredients
Instructions
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place 36 Oreo cookies in food processor and mix until cookies turn into fine crumbs. See notes if you don’t have a food processor.
Add cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a silicone spatula until a dough forms. Do not mix the mixture in the food processor as the cream cheese mixture can become too liquidy.
Roll the dough into balls, about one tablespoon per truffle. Place truffles on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet so they are not touching. Freeze the truffles for at least 15 minutes.
Slice the remaining Oreos in half across the cookie's circle to make two bat wings using a large serrated bread knife or a very sharp knife.
Add the chocolate and coconut oil (optional) to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the chocolate in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth chocolate sauce.

Making Cookie Crumbs Without a Food Processor
If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a gallon size strong zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or even a full canned good to crush the cookies into crumbs inside the bag.
After the cookies have become crumbs, you can mix in the rest of the ingredients with the cookie crumbs with an electric mixer. If you don’t have an electric mixer you can mix them together by hand but it may take a little longer and the cream cheese needs to be well softened.
Tips For Decorating The Truffles With Candy Melts
Sometimes by the time you are decorating the truffles with the candy melt chocolate, the chocolate begins to harden. Candy melts can be placed back in the microwave and heated at half power in increments just like when you first melted the chocolate.
Be careful not to get any water or other liquid in the candy melts chocolate as this will cause the chocolate to seize. (become grainy and hard.) A little extra oil can be used to thin the chocolate further if needed.
Cookie Scoop
I like to use this cookie scoop set, for this recipe you’ll need the small cookie scoop.
