How to make Bat Biscuits for Halloween
You will need:
- One bag of Oreos
- One bag of mini peanut butter cups
- One bag or jar of mini sprinkle eyes
- One tube of black decorative icing
If you cannot find sprinkle eyes at the baking aisle then do not worry as you can simply use white icing as an alternative.
Madison said: “White icing works well! Just pipe small dots where the eyes should go, and use black icing for the pupils.”
Begin by unwrapping the mini peanut butter cups and placing them on a plate.
Take an Oreo and twist it so you have two halves of the biscuit. Scrap the cream off on each side and snap each side in half to create a bat wing. Set the wings aside for now.
Use the black icing on the mini peanut butter cup and then place each wing, making sure the curved side is facing upwards
The more icing you use to act as a ‘glue”, the better is will stick.
Dot on the eyes using the icing or carefully stick them on with the mini sprinkle eyes.
Your quick and easy Halloween bat biscuits are now ready to enjoy.
