Halloween Bat Treats

Alright, I did mention my Halloween obsession, right? I make these simple Halloween bat treats every year—they’re quick, easy, and taste amazing!

With just four ingredients, these batty treats come together in a snap. They’re irresistibly cute and perfect for your Halloween festivities.

Plus, they’re so much fun to make with kids! This is a great treat that your kids can help with, and they really can’t mess it up.

Halloween Bat Treats Ingredients

  • Reese’s Miniature Cups®: Miniature size is preferred, but regular-sized work too.
  • Oreo Thins®: Use THIN Oreos for their size; 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: Look for a quality brand for the best melt and flavor.
  • 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: Make sure utensils and bowls are dry—water can make the chocolate grainy.
  • Manage Thickness: If the white chocolate is too thick, add a drop of oil to thin. Don’t worry this won’t change the flavor.
  • Interval Heating: To avoid burning the chocolate, melt it in short bursts. Microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between.

How To Make Halloween Bat Treats

  1. Prepare Reese’s Cups: Unwrap and chill the Reese’s Cups. Stick the Reese’s in the fridge for a few minutes to make easier to handle.
  2. Prepare Bat Wings: Break Oreo Thins in half to get four pieces per cookie. Discard the filling. Use a butter knife if the cookies break unevenly.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in 25-second intervals, stirring each time. Transfer to a plastic bag and cut a tiny corner for piping.
  4. Assemble Bats: Pipe a dot of white chocolate on the sides of each Reese’s Cup and attach Oreo halves as wings. Pipe another dot below the wings and add the candy eyes. Press gently to secure wings and eyes.

Storage

Halloween Bat Treats will stay good for about 3-5 days in an airtight container at room temperature. For longer storage, keep them in the fridge for up to a week.

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!

Halloween Bat Treats

Halloween Bat Treats are a fun, easy combo of Reeseโ€™s cups, Oreo wings, melted white chocolate, and candy eyesโ€”deliciously spooky with just four ingredients!
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 25 or more (just depends on how many you want to make!)

Equipment

  • Resealable plastic bag

Ingredients 
 

Instructions 

  • Unwrap the Reeseโ€™s Miniature Cups. My kids love to help with this step! I like to chill them in the fridge while making the bat wings.
  • Gently break Oreo Thins in half to get four pieces for "bat wings." Discard the filling (or enjoy it!). If cookies break unevenly, use a butter knife to separate them. Imperfect bats are perfect for Halloween!
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 25-second intervals, stirring each time. Transfer to a resealable plastic bag and cut a tiny corner for piping.
  • With the curvy side of each Reeseโ€™s cup up, pipe a dot of melted white chocolate on the sides. Attach an Oreo half to each side for wings, pressing gently until the chocolate sets. Pipe another dot of white chocolate below the wings and place two candy eyes on it.
  • If the white chocolate hardens, microwave it for 5โ€“10 seconds until smooth again.

Recipe Notes

Note 1: If the Reeseโ€™s Miniature Cups been in a warm environment, give them some chill time in the fridge. I love using the miniature size in this recipe, but the regular-sized Reese's Cups work great too!
Note 2:ย  Stick to the thin Oreos for the perfect wing balance; the regular ones can be a little too heavy.ย 
Note 3: Miniature edible candy eyes can be 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!

    Love this idea!! Making for our Halloween party, do you think mini marshmallows (with food color marker pupils ๐Ÿ™‚ ) would work instead of the candy eyes?? Can’t wait to see the kids reaction to these!!

    1. Chelsea Lords says:

      You might need the bigger Reese’s cup for those to fit ๐Ÿ™‚ Happy Halloween!

      1. Sue says:

        Why do you use white chocolate chips as the “glue” instead of using chocolate chips?

        1. Chelsea Lords says:

          They dry a lot faster than regular chocolate chips so you don’t have to hold in place as long!

    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.
