How To Prepare Halloween Chocolate Bats
Unwrap the Mini Reese’s Cups: First, start by unwrapping the mini Reese’s cups, which will serve as the bodies of your chocolate bats. Add Chocolate Icing: Then, place a small dot of chocolate icing on top of each Reese’s cup. This acts as the adhesive for attaching the bat’s wings. Break the Cookies: Carefully break the Oreo cookies in half, attempting to keep one half without icing. This un-iced half will be used to create the wings. Oreo Wings: Then, use the chocolate icing as glue to attach the two Oreo halves to the sides of the Reese’s cup. These Oreo halves become the wings of your chocolate bats, and don’t worry if an Oreo cookie breaks in the process; consider it a chef’s treat! Create the Bat’s Eyes: Using the chocolate icing, add two small dots on the front of each Reese’s cup. These dots will serve as the eyes of your bats. Apply Candy Eyes: Lastly, gently place the white candy eyes on top of the chocolate icing dots to form the bat’s eyes. Enjoy Your Chocolate Bats: Now your chocolate bats are ready to awe your Halloween guests!
Substitutions and Variations
Let’s add a unique twist to your Halloween celebration!
Cookie Alternatives: You can use any round cookie of your choice in place of Oreos to create these chocolate bats. Gluten-free cookies would be a great option if you want to make allergy-friendly bats. Nut Allergies: If you or your guests have nut allergies, no worries! Substitute the mini Reese’s cups with nut-free chocolate cups or mini cupcakes that resemble the shape of a little cup. Edible Eyes: The candy eyes, while adorable, can be quite hard. Be cautious or consider removing them before consumption if you’re concerned about dental health.
