Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 24 Oreo cookies
Chocolate
- 2-3 snack-sized Hershey bars
- ½ cup chocolate melting wafers
Decorations
- 24 candy eyes
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate ears: Unwrap three Hershey chocolate bars and cut each into four smaller bars. Carefully use a sharp knife to cut three triangle shapes from each smaller bar to form bat ears.
- Separate and prepare Oreos: Separate the 24 Oreo cookies. To increase the cream filling on 12 of them, transfer the cream from the other 12 cookies if using regular Oreos. Skip this if you are using Double Stuffed Oreos as they already have thicker frosting.
- Cut cookie halves for wings: Use a serrated knife to carefully cut 12 of the cookie sides without any frosting in half, creating 24 wings. Keep the extra 12 halves aside in case some break during assembly.
- Assemble ears and wings: Press two small chocolate triangles into the top of each Oreo’s cream filling for ears. Then, angle two cookie halves into the sides of the Oreo to resemble bat wings. Use melted chocolate wafers to secure wings and ears if needed.
- Stack cookies: Add a drop of melted chocolate to the cream center, then gently place another cookie without frosting on top and press gently to sandwich the bat wings and ears securely.
- Attach candy eyes: Using a toothpick, apply melted chocolate to the back of each candy eye and carefully glue them onto the front of the assembled Oreos to complete the bat face.
Notes
- If some wings break while cutting, use the extra halves set aside for replacements.
- Double Stuffed Oreos are recommended for easier assembly since they have extra cream filling.
- Melt chocolate wafers carefully in short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
- Allow assembled bats to set at room temperature for the melted chocolate to harden before handling or serving.
