Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 30 Oreo cookies, Double Stuf
Decorations
- 40 candy eyes
- ¾ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prep the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare a clean surface for assembling the cookies.
- Separate and remove cream: Take 10 Oreo cookies and gently split each into two halves to get 20 halves. Carefully scrape off the cream filling from these halves using a butter knife; these will be used as the bat wings.
- Break wing pieces: Break each of the 20 Oreo halves without cream in half again using your hands or a thin knife, then pair similar-sized pieces together to form wings.
- Melt the chocolate: Reserve ¼ cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips for decorating. Melt the remaining ½ cup chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl at low power, microwaving in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until fully melted and smooth.
- Assemble the wings: Attach the prepared Oreo wing pieces to one Oreo half that still has cream filling by applying a small amount of melted chocolate as glue in the center. Then place another Oreo half on top to sandwich together and set this on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Create the horns: Using a toothpick or skewer, dab a small amount of melted chocolate near the top of the bat’s head. Place 2 mini chocolate chips as horns on this spot.
- Add the eyes: Apply a bit more melted chocolate to the center of the bat’s face and stick two candy eyes onto each bat.
- Repeat: Continue assembling all cookies following the above steps until all Oreo bats are complete.
- Chill to set: Allow the melted chocolate to set completely in a cool area, or to speed up the process, refrigerate the assembled Oreo bats before serving.
Notes
- You can melt chocolate chips using a microwave or a double boiler—stir frequently to prevent scorching.
- For sturdier bat wings, use Double Stuf or Mega Stuf Oreos as they have extra cream filling to hold pieces together better. If using regular Oreos, you might add a bit of frosting or melted chocolate in the filling to ensure assembly stays intact.
- Refrigerating the finished bats will speed up setting, especially in warm environments, and keep the treats fresh until serving.
