How to Make Double Stuff OREO Cookie Bats

Line your baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

Separate the OREO Cookies. Take 20 of the halves (from 10 cookies) and scrape off the cream filling with a butter knife. These plain pieces will be the bat's wings.

Using your hands or a thin knife, break the 20 plain OREO halves. It's okay if they're a bit uneven. Match them with a similar-sized piece.

Set aside ¼ cup of mini semi-sweet chocolate chips for decorating. Melt the remaining ½ cup in a small microwave-safe bowl on a low or defrost setting. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted.

Attach the wings to one of the OREO halves with cream. Add a dab of melted chocolate in the center to help it stick, then top with another OREO half. Place it on the prepared baking sheet.

Use a skewer or toothpick to apply a small amount of melted chocolate towards the top of the bat's head. Place two mini chocolate chips on top.

Add the bat eyes by dabbing a bit more melted chocolate near the center and placing them on top. Repeat with the remaining OREO Cookies.

Let the cookies set completely before serving. You can speed this up by putting them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Tips and Tricks

• Separate the OREOs: Carefully twist the cookies apart to avoid breaking the wafers. If a few do break, don't worry. They'll still make great wings.
• Pair the Pieces: When breaking the cookie halves, try to pair up pieces that are similar in size. This will make your bat wings look more symmetrical.
• Melting the Chocolate: Use the microwave on a low setting or defrost mode. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one to ensure smooth melting.
• Speeding Up the Setting Process: Transfer your cookies to the fridge for about 10 minutes. This will help the chocolate set quickly so you can start enjoying your treats sooner.

Variations and Substitutions

Different Types of Chocolate

While mini semi-sweet chocolate chips are great, they aren't the only option. You can use other types of chocolate to add a different flavor:

• Milk Chocolate: If you prefer a sweeter taste, melt some milk chocolate chips instead.
• White Chocolate: For a striking contrast against the dark OREO cookies, white chocolate can be an excellent choice.
• Dark Chocolate: If you're a fan of rich flavors, dark chocolate adds a sophisticated touch.

Vegan or Dairy-Free Options

For those with dietary restrictions, you can make the bats vegan or dairy-free. Here are some easy swaps:

• OREO Cookies: Most OREO flavors are already vegan. Just double-check the packaging to be sure.
• Chocolate Chips: Use dairy-free or vegan chocolate chips. Many brands offer these, and they work just as well.
• Candy Eyes: Vegan-friendly candy eyes are available, or you can make your own using vegan fondant.

Gluten-Free Alternatives

If you're gluten-sensitive or accommodating someone who is, you can still enjoy these spooky treats:

• Gluten-Free OREO Cookies: These are readily available in most grocery stores.
• Gluten-Free Chocolate Chips: Ensure your chocolate chips are labeled gluten-free.

Storing Your Oreo Cookie Bats

Use an Airtight Container

• Choose a Container: Opt for any other container with a tight-fitting lid.
• Layer with Parchment Paper: To prevent the cookies from sticking together, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer.

Refrigeration Tips

If you plan to enjoy your OREO Cookie Bats over a few days, refrigeration is a good option. The cool temperature helps maintain the chocolate’s firmness and keeps the cookies from becoming soft.

• Set Before Storing: Before placing them in the fridge, let the cookies set completely. This ensures the melted chocolate and eyes stay in place.
• Use the Right Shelf: Store the container on a middle shelf where the temperature is most consistent.

Freezing for Long-Term Storage

If you want to prepare your cookie bats well in advance, freezing is a fantastic option. This way, you can savor your spooky treats weeks or even months later.

• Wrap Individually: Wrap each cookie bat in plastic wrap to protect them from freezer burn.
• Use Freezer Bags: Place the wrapped cookies in a large, resealable freezer bag. Label the bag with the date for future reference.
