Halloween Bat Treats Ingredients

  • Reese’s Miniature Cups®: Miniature size is preferred, but regular-sized work too.
  • Oreo Thins®: Use THIN Oreos for balance; regular ones may be heavy. Separate carefully with a table knife. Feel like changing things up? Pick a different Oreo flavor to try!
  • White Chocolate Chips: Opt for a quality brand for the best melt and taste.
  • Edible Candy Eyes: Found in baking aisles or specialty stores. Choose your desired size. For tiny ones like in our photos, consider online shopping. Standard eye size fit well too on these Halloween Bat Treats!

Tips For Melting White Chocolate

  • Avoid Water: Ensure utensils and bowls are dry; water can make chocolate grainy.
  • Manage Thickness: If too thick, add a drop of neutral-flavored oil to thin without changing flavor.
  • Interval Heating: In a microwave, melt in 20-30 second bursts, stirring between.
  • Be Gentle: White chocolate burns easily. Melt slowly in short bursts.

How To Make Halloween Bat Treats (Tips)

  • Oreo Handling: Chill for 10 minutes for easier separation.
  • Alternatives: Use nut-free candies or chocolate truffles for those with allergies.
  • Kid-Friendly: Let kids assemble bats for fun, unique designs.
  • Stay Clean: Have a damp cloth handy for chocolate smudges.
  • Chill: Refrigerate finished bats briefly for sturdier handling.
  • Eye Substitute: Use mini chocolate chips if edible eyes aren’t available.

STORAGE

Keep bat treats in a cool, dry spot. If its warm, store in the fridge.

QUICK TIP

Serve these bats on crumbled Oreos for a ‘dirt’ effect.

Or, if you’re hosting a Halloween party, set up a “Bat Treat Station” where guests can assemble their own bat treats. It lets everyone get in on the fun!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • PREPARE REESE'S CUPS: Begin by unwrapping the Reese's Miniature Cups. My kids love to help with this! I like to pop these in the fridge while making the bat wings.
  • PREPARE BAT WINGS: Gently break the Oreo Thins in half. Separate the two halves, resulting in four pieces that will act as "bat wings." Scrape off and discard the Oreo filling (or enjoy it as a treat!).
    Note: When separating the cookies, many might break unevenly. To ease the process, gently slide a butter knife between the halves to coax them apart. But remember, even if some break, it's okay! Imperfect bats are perfect for Halloween!
  • MELT WHITE CHOCOLATE: In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips. Heat in 25-second intervals, stirring between each to ensure even melting. Once melted, transfer the chocolate to a zipper-top plastic bag. Cut a very tiny corner off the bag to use for piping.
  • ASSEMBLE BATS: With the curvy side of each Reese's cup facing up, pipe a small dot of melted white chocolate on the sides where you'll place the wings. Quickly attach an Oreo half to each side, positioning them to resemble bat wings. Press gently and hold in place for a few moments, allowing the chocolate to set and secure the wings.
    Directly below the wings, pipe another small dot of melted white chocolate. Attach two edible candy eyes onto this dot on the Reese's cup.
  • TIP: If the white chocolate in the bag begins to harden, simply microwave it for 5-10 seconds, or until it regains its smooth consistency, before continuing.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: Reese's Miniature Cups: If they've been in a warm environment, give them some chill time in the fridge. We love using the miniature size in this recipe, but the regular-sized Reese's Cups work great too!
Note 2:  Oreo Thins sandwich cookies: Stick to the thin Oreos for the perfect wing balance; the regular ones can be a tad too heavy. 
Note 3: Miniature edible candy eyes: Found in baking aisles or specialty stores. Choose your desired size. For tiny ones like in our photos, consider online shopping. Standard eye size fit well too on these Halloween Bat Treats!

  1. Chelsea, these are all so cute! Funny, I was just on Foodgawker and saw the picture of the Oreo bat wings and instantly knew it was your photo before looking at who posted! Gorgeous and fun!

    1. Thank you!!! I have bought edible eyes from craft stores (hobby lobby) and also from Walmart on their baking aisle by the sprinkles ☺️

  2. Here is my problem….. I would love to have my grand daughter help make the Bats made with the peanut butter cups. But they can’t be used because of possible peanut allergies…. any suggestions for a substitute?

  3. I’m the Editor of Fun Family Crafts and wanted to let you know that we have featured your yummy bat treat! You can see it here:

    http://funfamilycrafts.com/mini-bat-treats/

    If you have other kid-friendly craft tutorials, we’d love for you to submit them. If you would like to display a featured button on your site, you can get one from the right side bar of your post above. Thanks for a cool idea!

  4. 4 stars
    4 start only because the cookies were slightly difficult to cut. I wanted the wings slightly smaller than the instructions say, which is to cut them in half. My husband ended up cutting/sawing out a little in the middle. I also used left over melted white chocolate, from chocolate covered strawberries, to “glue” the wings and eyes on my bats. Would totally make them again! Huge hit for church refreshments!! Thank you for the super cute idea!! ???

  5. 5 stars
    The mini bat treats are amazing. I made these last year but cut the biscuits using knife. They did not look as appealing as yours. Seems like imperfection is what makes it perfect.

  6. Love this idea!! Making for our Halloween party, do you think mini marshmallows (with food color marker pupils 🙂 ) would work instead of the candy eyes?? Can’t wait to see the kids reaction to these!!
