- If using chocolate, melt in the microwave.
- Separate the Oreo tops from the bottoms.
- Keep the chocolate cookies and discard the frosting layer.
- Break each chocolate cookie in half.
- Secure the wings to the Reece’s cup with melted chocolate. Do the same for the candy eyes.
- Repeat until all the bats are assembled.
- Place them in the fridge to set and enjoy!
FAQ:
The chocolate really just acts as the “glue” for the wings and eyes, so use whatever chocolate you like! You don’t need much. For even more ease, you can use a store-bought icing pen instead of chocolate too.
Sure! I would just recommend placing the eyes below the wings rather than on top since there is more surface area to cover a larger Reese’s cup!
You can easily substitute a whole Oreo or chocolate wafer cookies for Reese’s cups. Sticking with chocolate flavors helps keep the look of a bat since the colors are dark, but if you don’t care about that, you really could substitute any round cookies for the Reece’s cups. Just have fun with it! These bat cookies are very adaptable, making it the perfect recipe for the halloween season.
