Halloween is all about spookiness, fun, and, of course, delicious treats! If you’re looking for a simple yet cute dessert that’s perfect for parties or a post-school snack, we’ve got you covered. Say hello to our Oreo Bats – these adorable goodies are sure to be the highlight of any gathering. With just a few easy-to-find ingredients, a touch of creativity, and a dash of patience, you can whip up these charming bat-inspired treats that everyone will love. So, let’s dive into the delightful world of Oreo Cookie Bats!

INGREDIENTS AND PREPARATION

To create these delightful Oreo Bats, gather the following ingredients:

Oreo Cookies
Miniature Reese’s
Melted Chocolate (or Frosting)
Edible Eyeballs

Now, let’s get started! The first step is to cut the Oreos in half – a bit tricky but manageable. Use a butter knife and apply even, slow pressure across the Oreo. With some care, you can usually salvage two bat wings from each cookie. Be sure to scrape off all the Oreo filling to leave just the cookie.

Pro Tip
After making this treat a few times, I researched some additional tips to get better results. One suggestion is to refrigerate the Oreos for a while before cutting them. This firms up both the cookie and filling, making it less likely to crumble during the cut. It’s a small step that can possibly make a big difference in the process.

Assembling Your Oreo Bats

Now, it’s time to assemble your Oreo Bats! Open up the wrapper around the miniature Reese’s – these will be the bodies of your bats. Next, dip the back corner of each Oreo half into either frosting or melted chocolate. I personally used melted chocolate because we were using it for another treat, but frosting works just as well as “glue” to hold your bat wings in place on top of the Reese’s. Position the Oreo pieces at an upturned angle on the larger side of the Mini Reese’s to create the bat’s wings.

ADDING THE FINAL TOUCH

The last step is all about giving your bat creations personality! Apply either melted chocolate or frosting to the back of two edible eyeballs and place them in the corners of the bat wings. These eyes will bring your spooky bats to life. And just like that, you’ve crafted a delicious chocolate treat that’s as cute as it is easy to make.
