INGREDIENTS

  • JUSTIN’S® Mini Peanut Caramel Nougat Bars (milk or dark chocolate)

  • Chocolate chips
  • Lollipop sticks or skewers (for pops)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make the wings by
    • Twist apart chocolate cookies and scrape out the filling.
    • Cut each cookie half in half to form two curved wing pieces.
  2. Melt chocolate “glue”
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt a small handful of chocolate chips in 20-second bursts until smooth.
  3. Attach wings
    • Dip the flat edge of each cookie wing into melted chocolate and press onto the sides of a JUSTIN’S® Mini Candy Bar. Hold briefly to set.
  4. Add ears
    • Use two whole chocolate chips, pointy side up, on top of each bar. Secure with a dab of melted chocolate.
  5. Add eyes
    • Use melted chocolate to “glue” on candy eyes just below the ears.
  6. Optional pops
    • Insert a lollipop stick or skewer into the bottom of the candy bar before decorating if you want them on sticks.
  7. Set & serve
    • Place bats on a parchment-lined tray and let set in the fridge until firm.
