Total Time: 56 minutes
Yield: 8 1x

Ingredients

Scale

10 oz black chocolate melts

1 /2 oz white chocolate melts

4–6 red or red velvet cupcakes (preferred)

6 chocolate sandwich cookies

Eye sprinkles

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Clean and dry your mold.
Melt the black chocolate in a medium size microwave safe bowl in 15-30 second intervals until completely melted. Stir in-between each interval.
Using a spoon or spatula for some chocolate in the mold, use the back of a spoon to spread the chocolate around the inside of each section in the mold. Then place the mold inside of the freezer for 10 minutes.
Once the mold is removed from the freezer, add more chocolate to each section following the same instruction as above. Then place back in the freezer for 5 minutes. This is done to reinforce the sides so it won’t break.
Next put your cupcakes in the microwave for 5-10 seconds, then gently stuff half a cupcake in to the each chocolate covered section of the mold. Do not press too hard nor over fill the sections.
Pour more of the black chocolate over the cupcakes the close the section. Place the mold back in the freezer for 5-8 minutes. If the chocolate you are trying to pour has hardened, put it in the microwave to remelt it before pouring over the cupcake.
While the mold is in the freezer, remove the cream from the chocolate sandwich cookies. Next cut 4 pairs of the cookies in half and cut the rest cut into 8 triangles. Place them to the side for later.
Gently remove each truffle from the mold and lay them on a flat surface.
Using the black melted chocolate, attach 2 cookie triangles to the smaller top of the truffle, and then use the chocolate to attach the larger cookie halves to the sides of the truffle to look like wings.
Melt the white melting chocolate following the melting instructions above. Place the chocolate in a piping bag and cut a small hole in the tip.
Pipe the white chocolate on the back of the eyeball sprinkles and place them at the top of the bat truffle.
Right below the eyes, pipe 2 small triangles to be the bats teeth. Repeat this for each bat truffle.
Let them sit for 3 minutes to dry, Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

These These truffle can be stored in a airtight container in a cool dry place for 3 days and in the fridge for up to 5 days. The color on the eye sprinkles may run when they come back to room temperature.
If your cupcakes are very crumbly, you can add 2 tablespoons of buttercream frosting to help the cupcakes stick together.
I used red velvet cupcake but any red cupcakes will do. You can experiment with other flavors as well like strawberry.
