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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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
Equipment
- Resealable plastic bag
Ingredients
- 1 (10.5-ounce) package Reese's Miniature Cups unwrapped
- 1 (13.1-ounce) package Oreo THINS regular Oreos are too heavy!
- 3 tablespoons white chocolate chips
- Edible candy eyeballs
Instructions
- Unwrap the Reese’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 Reese’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 5–10 seconds until smooth again.

4 start only because the cookies were slightly difficult to cut. I wanted the wings slightly smaller than the instructions say, which is to cut them in half. My husband ended up cutting/sawing out a little in the middle. I also used left over melted white chocolate, from chocolate covered strawberries, to “glue” the wings and eyes on my bats. Would totally make them again! Huge hit for church refreshments!! Thank you for the super cute idea!! ???

Thank you so much! 🙂
Here is my problem….. I would love to have my grand daughter help make the Bats made with the peanut butter cups. But they can’t be used because of possible peanut allergies…. any suggestions for a substitute?
You can make your own “peanut butter cup” base and instead of putting in peanut butter you could use something like cookie butter. Here’s a recipe if you want to try that out: https://www.chelseasmessyapron.com/cookie-butter-crunch-cups/ Enjoy!
Took these bats to our harvest supper last night. Made a big hit.
