The 4-ingredient Oreo bats that require basically zero effort in the kitchen

Trine Jensen-Burke

Minimum input, maximum results.

Seriously, there is nothing not to love about these very cool looking Oreo chocolate bats, I think we can all agree. In fact, we’ll go as far as calling them pretty much the perfect kitchen project to take on with your kids, or whip up as a seasonal sweet treat if you are having guests this Halloween season.

And the best bit? All you need is four little easy-to-get-a-hold-of ingredients.

Ingredients
  • Miniature Reeses Cups
  • Thin Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookies
  • Pre-made cream cheese frosting or homemade
  • Edible eyes

Instructions

  1. Remove the wrappers from the Reeses cups.
  2. Break the cookies in half and then separate all of the pieces from one another so you now have four “bat wings”. Scrape off the frosting and discard (or eat!)
  3. Fill up a plastic bag with the store bought or homemade frosting. Cut off the tip of the bag and pipe frosting onto the back corners of the broken cookie pieces.
  4. Press one cookie piece on the left of the Reeses cup and another cookie piece on the right of the Reeses cup.
  5. Pipe frosting on the back of the edible eyes and secure on top of the center of the Reeses cup.
  6. Enjoy!
