Description
OREO bats are an adorable, spooky snack, perfect for Halloween parties or movie nights. Best of all you only need 3 simple ingredients and 20 minutes to make them!
Ingredients
Scale
- 30 double stuffed Oreo cookies
- 3/4 cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips, divided
- 40 candy eye balls
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Gently twist apart the Oreos, separating 20 halves (from 10 cookies). Carefully scrape off the cream from these halves using a butter knife, as these will become the bat wings.
- Using your hands or a thin knife, break the 20 cream less Oreo halves in half. Don’t worry if some pieces are a bit uneven. Just match them with another piece of similar size.
- Set aside ¼ cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for decorating the bats.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining ½ cup of mini chocolate chips.
- Heat in 30-second intervals on low power, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- To assemble, take one Oreo half with cream and position the bat wings on each side. Add a small dab of melted chocolate to the center to help the wings stick, then place another Oreo half on top to complete the bat’s body. Set it on the prepared baking sheet.
- Using a toothpick or skewer, apply a tiny bit of melted chocolate to the top of the bat’s “head,” and place two mini chocolate chips to form the ears.
- For the eyes, dab a little melted chocolate near the center of the cookie and attach the candy eyeballs. Repeat this process for all the bats.
- Let the chocolate set completely before serving. If you’re short on time, pop the tray into the fridge for about 10 minutes to speed things up. Enjoy!
Notes
- You can use any variety of dark Oreos for this recipe, but my top choice is either Double Stuf or Mega Stuf. The extra filling makes it easier to keep the bat wings securely in place.
- If you opt for regular Oreos or a flavored version, a bit of extra melted chocolate or even frosting can be used to ensure everything sticks together nicely.
