Every year, Halloween captivates us with its mysterious atmosphere. A magical three-day period where the scary becomes sweet. Pumpkins transform into delicious soups, cookies take the shape of ghosts, and cupcakes become little monsters.

So, the question arises, "Trick or Treat?" The only thing left is to decide which sweet mystery you will discover!

Oreo Bats with Only 3 Ingredients

They are colorful and cute. No recipe is needed, as they simply require a little assembly.

Required Time: Assembling them takes about 15 to 20 minutes, depending on how many you make.

Ingredients you will need:

• 1 package Oreo cookies
• 1 package of chocolate candies Smarties or M&M's
• Couverture chocolate

Instructions:

• Split each cookie in half so that one half has the cream filling and the other does not.
• Break the half without the cream exactly in the middle. These form the "wings".
• Place the wings as shown in the photo, "sticking" them with a little melted chocolate. 
• Similarly, attach the colorful chocolate buttons for the "eyes". 

The Oreo Bats are ready, and you are ready to celebrate Halloween!
