How to Make Bat Oreos

Ingredients:

• 30 Oreo cookies (Double Stuf)
• 40 candy eyes
• ¾ Cup mini semisweet chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Separate 10 of the Oreo cookies in half to get 20 halves. Carefully scrape off the cream with a butter knife. The halves without cream will be used for the bat’s wings.
3. Break the 20 remaining Oreo halves without cream in half, using your hands or a thin knife. Pair them up with another piece of similar size.
4. Set aside ¼ cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips for decorating the bats. Melt the remaining ½ cup of chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl on the defrost or low setting. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each one until completely melted.
5. Attach the wings to one of the Oreo halves with cream filling still on it. Add a bit of melted chocolate in the center to help it stick together, then top it with another Oreo cookie half. Set the assembled cookie on the prepared baking tray.
6. Use a toothpick or skewer to paint a tiny bit of melted chocolate near the top of the bat’s head. Add 2 chocolate chips on top to resemble horns.
7. Add a little more melted chocolate by the center of the cookie for the bat’s eyes and stick on the candy eyes. Repeat these steps with the remaining cookies.
8. Let the chocolate set completely before serving the Bat Oreos. To speed up the setting process, you can refrigerate the Oreo bats.
