Looking for a super adorable, no-bake treat that looks like you spent hours — but really only takes minutes? These Spooky Oreo Bats are just that. With simple ingredients like Oreos, mini peanut butter cups, and candy eyes, you’ll transform everyday snacks into creepy-cute bats in a flash.
They’re perfect for Halloween parties, classroom treats, or a fun baking activity with kids. Plus, no oven = no mess (well, less mess).
Here’s how I’d set it up:
Ingredients
- Oreo or chocolate sandwich cookies (Double Stuf works well)
- Mini peanut butter cups (unwrapped)
- Candy eyes
- Chocolate chips or melting chocolate (to glue parts together)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oreos: Twist apart the Oreos, and remove or scrape off the cream filling.
2. Make your “wings”: Break each cookie half into two wing shapes (two per Oreo)
3. Melt chocolate: Microwave chocolate chips or melting wafers in 20–30 second bursts until smooth.
4. Assemble bats: Use a little melted chocolate as “glue” to attach the wings to the sides of a mini peanut butter cup (which acts as the bat’s body).
5. Add eyes: While the chocolate is still soft, press candy eyes into the top of each mini peanut butter cup.
6. Let set: Allow the assembled bats to rest until the chocolate hardens and wings are firmly attached.
Serving Tips:
- Display the bats on a silver platter or atop “spiderweb” doilies for a spooky effect.
- Wrap a few in clear treat bags for party favors.
- Arrange them perched on cupcakes or cookie platters.
Variations:
- Use white chocolate for coating parts or highlighting features.
- Swap the peanut butter cup for Reese’s mini or any small round candy.
- Use colored candy melts (purple, orange) for a fun twist.
- Use giant candy eyeballs or spooky edible glitter for flair.
Troubleshooting:
- Wings not sticking? Use just a dab of melted chocolate and hold gently until set.
- Chocolate too thick? Warm slightly or add a drop of vegetable oil.
- Candy eyes falling off? Press them in quickly before the chocolate sets.
Storage:
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Keep in a cool, dry place (heat can melt the chocolate).
