Ingredients
- 1 package regular Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup Chocolate Frosting (store-bought or homemade)
- Candy Eyeballs
- Optional: Black sprinkles or sanding sugar
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prep: Line a baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. Have your candy eyeballs and frosting ready.
- Make the Wings: Carefully twist apart about half of the Oreo cookies. Scrape the cream filling off one side (you can save it for another use or discard). Take the plain chocolate cookie halves and break or cut each one in half to create two “wing” shapes per cookie half.
- Assemble the Bats: Take the remaining whole Oreo cookies (these will be the bat bodies). Use a small dab of chocolate frosting as “glue” to attach two candy eyeballs near the top edge of each whole Oreo.
- Attach the Wings: Apply a small line of chocolate frosting to the flat edge of each “wing” piece. Gently press two wings onto the back of each whole Oreo (behind the eyes), angling them slightly upwards to resemble bat wings.
- Set and Serve: Place the finished Bat Oreos on the prepared parchment paper. If desired, you can add a tiny dab of frosting for a mouth or sprinkle a little black sanding sugar for texture. Let the frosting set for about 15-20 minutes before serving.
Tips & Variations
- Pro Tip: If your Oreos are breaking unevenly when making the wings, try scoring them gently with a sharp knife before snapping them in half.
- Peanut Butter Bats: Use peanut butter instead of chocolate frosting as the “glue” for a chocolate-peanut butter flavor combo.
- Mini Bats: Use Mini Oreos and mini candy eyeballs for adorable bite-sized bats.
- White Chocolate Bats: Use white chocolate frosting and Golden Oreos for a “ghost bat” variation.

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Separate the Oreo cookies and remove the filling. Carefully break each cookie half in two to create the bat wings.
- Place the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
- Unwrap the mini peanut butter cups. Use a small amount of melted chocolate as ‘glue’ to attach one Oreo half to each side of the peanut butter cup, at an angle, to form wings.
- Use another dab of melted chocolate to attach candy eyes to the center of the peanut butter cup above the wings.
- Let the chocolate set for a few minutes at room temperature (or refrigerate briefly). Serve and enjoy your spooky Oreo bats!
Notes
Pro Tip: Use double-stuffed Oreos so they separate cleanly without breaking! You can also use candy melts instead of chocolate chips for a smoother, quicker ‘glue.’
