Ingredients
- Oreo Cookies (any flavor; regular or double stuff)
- Beef Sticks
- Candy Eyes
- Almond Slivers
- Chocolate / Candy Melts in piping bag (need small amount only for adhesion)
Instructions
- Separate the Oreo cookies by twisting them gently to get one half with cream and the other without. To create a single Bat Oreo Pop, combine two cream-filled halves with one plain half.
- Carefully cut the plain chocolate wafer into two equal pieces. Use a serrated knife for precision if needed, and don’t worry if the first attempt isn’t perfect; you have extra wafers to try again.
- Position the cut wafer halves and a beef stick onto the cream-filled side of an Oreo, as illustrated. Apply a small amount of chocolate melt to help everything stick together.
- Place another cream-filled Oreo half on top, with the cream side facing down, to complete the sandwich.
- Using the chocolate melt, add two tiny dots near the “Oreo” logo and attach the candy eyes on these spots.
- Trim the almond slivers, keeping only the pointed ends.
- To finish the bat, draw a line of chocolate horizontally and attach the almond slivers as fangs. This gives your bat a cute, vampiric look.
- If you’re in a humid environment, store the pops in a sealed container to keep them fresh.
- For more creative bat wings, consider using a wave-shaped cookie cutter. The one I used was originally for moose, utilizing the horn section for shaping.
- Cut two wings in reverse to form a matching pair. Note that this method has a lower success rate, but letting the cookies sit outside packaging to soften can make cutting easier.
- Complete two bat pops with different wing styles and decide which one you like best.
Notes
- Use a serrated knife for precise cutting of the plain chocolate wafer into two equal pieces.
- Trim down any long almond slivers to maintain proportionate bat fangs.
- Consider using a wavy cookie cutter for more creative bat wings, but be patient during the cutting process.
