Description
Oreo Bats are a fun and festive Halloween treat made by transforming Oreo cookies into adorable bat shapes. With simple ingredients like Hershey bars and candy eyes, these treats are perfect for Halloween parties and make a spooky yet delicious addition to any celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 24 Oreo cookies (Halloween-themed for extra fun)
- 2–3 snack-sized Hershey bars (for bat ears)
- ½ cup chocolate melting wafers (for “glue”)
- 24 candy eyes (available in baking sections)
Instructions
- Cut the Chocolate Bars:
- Unwrap the Hershey bars and cut each bar into 4 smaller squares.
- Use a sharp knife to cut three triangles from each smaller square to create the bat ears.
- Separate the Oreo Cookies:
- Carefully twist open 24 Oreo cookies. For 12 of the cookies, add extra cream from the other 12 to increase the filling. If using Double Stuffed Oreos, you can skip this step.
- Make the Bat Wings:
- Use a serrated knife to gently cut 12 of the cookie halves (without frosting) in half to create wings. Save the extra halves in case some break.
- Assemble the Bat:
- Press two of the chocolate triangles into the cream filling at the top of each Oreo to form the bat ears.
- Insert two cookie halves at an angle on the sides of the Oreo to resemble wings. Use a little melted chocolate to secure the wings if needed.
- Add the Eyes:
- Melt the chocolate wafers in the microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Use a toothpick to dab some melted chocolate onto the back of the candy eyes, then attach them to the front of the bat.
- Top the Cookies:
- Place the other half of the Oreo (without cream) gently on top to complete the bat shape.
- Let Set:
- Allow the cookies to set for a few minutes so everything holds together well before serving.
Notes
- Chocolate Melting: Ensure that you melt the chocolate wafers in short bursts to avoid burning.
- Assembly Tip: Use a little extra melted chocolate to secure any loose parts, especially the wings.
- Cream Filling: Adding extra cream to some Oreos can help achieve a better bat shape if you’re not using Double Stuffed Oreos.
