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 and carefully scrape off the cream with a butter knife. You’ll use the pieces without cream 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 with other pieces similar in size.
4. Set aside ¼ cup of mini semisweet chocolate chips for decorating the bats. Melt the other 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. Place it 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. Then, add 2 of the chocolate chips on top to resemble horns.
7. Add more melted chocolate by the center of the cookie for the bat’s eyes and stick the chocolate chips on. Repeat this process 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.
