How to Make Easy Oreo Bats

These cute little bats will be ready before you know it! The best part is that they're easy enough to have the kids help. They always turn out adorable!

1. Unwrap three chocolate bars and cut them into four smaller bars. Use a sharp knife to cut three triangles from each smaller bar for ears.
2. Separate 24 cookies. To increase the cream filling on 12 cookies, use the cream from the other 12 cookies. However, if you use Double Stuffed Oreos, you can skip this step because they already have thicker frosting.
3. Use a serrated knife to cut 12 cookie sides without frosting in half for wings. You will have an extra 12 cookie halves to use in case some break when cutting.
4. Press two small chocolate ears into the top of the cream filling. Push two cookie halves into the sides of the Oreo at a slight angle so they resemble bat wings. Use melted chocolate to secure them in place, if needed.
5. Add a drop of melted chocolate to the center of the cookie. Then, place a cookie without frosting on top and press very gently.
6. Use a toothpick to add chocolate to the back of the eyeball candies. Glue them on the front of the bats.

BruCrew Tip: To prevent cookies from cracking, use a serrated knife to gently saw through them on a cutting board.

Storage Recommendations

Store your little chocolate bats in an air-tight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. 

Please do not add them to the top of frosted cupcakes until ready to serve them. The frosting will cause the Oreo cookie to become very soft.

Tips and Tricks

• Prep everything ahead of time. Cutting all the ingredients beforehand will make the assembly process quick and easy.
• Use a sharp knife. Use a sharp knife to cut the chocolate quickly and avoid cracking for best results. Run your knife under hot water, then dry it off to help it cut smoothly.
• Be gentle. The cream filling needs to be intact for the chocolate to hold. Avoid moving or wiggling the "wings" too much!
• Keep things tidy. These treats can be messy, with cookies and chocolate everywhere. Place parchment paper on a baking sheet to keep things neat. Plus, you can easily transport them, while the chocolate firms.

Variations

• Chocolate Covered Bats - Dip the cookies in melted dark chocolate, then add the wings, ears, and eyes.
• Oreo Bat Cupcakes - Make cookies and cream cupcakes and top them with these cute little bat treats. Perfect for the Halloween season!
• Bat Cake Pops - Mix chocolate cake with Oreo frosting, then roll out cake pops. Dip them in chocolate, then stick the cookie halves on the side for wings!
• Bat Oreo Pops - Sandwich a popsicle stick and melted chocolate inside the Oreo cookie before attaching the top cookie.
• DIY Bat Eyes - Can't find sugar eyes for these fun treats? Pipe melted white chocolate onto the bat's body and add mini chocolate chips with the pointy side down. Let them firm up before moving.
• Bat Oreo Truffles - Skip the cookies and make bat truffles instead! Just prepare Oreo truffles, dip them in melted dark chocolate, and attach the wings, ears, and eyes. The cookie balls will be so cute!
