How to make these cookies

Now let’s get started. Your first step is to prep your bat face. Unwrap your Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups. Then, using the decorating gel, place a dot on the back of the candy eyes.

Now you can attach two candy eyes to your bat’s face and set them aside until later. I would get all your candy face completed for each bat cookie you will be creating.

It will just be easier in the end. Think about starting an assembly line.

Melt the brown candy melts according to package instructions.   Prepare your area by placing a sheet of parchment paper on your counter. Parchment paper is vital. You don’t want your melted chocolate coating to stick.

A quick tip: Crumble your piece of parchment paper like you would crumble up and throw out a piece of paper. Then, unwrap it and spread it out smoothly. This helps it keep the corners down from unrolling. I like having control over my parchment paper.

Now you can dip the cookies into the brown candy melts and evenly coat them to cover.

Next, lay the covered Nutter Butter cookie on the parchment paper.

Working quickly, place the Reese’s Cup in the middle of the cookie before the candy hardens.

Finally, add a smile using the decorating gel. Everyone deserves a happy bat. But you can allow the kiddos to decide on their facial expressions.

Allow the cookies to completely dry and harden. When you peel them off of the wax paper, there may be some extra chocolate that you can pull off to clean up the look of the cookie.

Smart Recipe Tips

Double or triple the recipe when serving a crowd.

Have extras on hand. You can never be too careful when making these, as a few cookies or peanut butter cups may end up being eaten.

Add sugar sprinkles – accessorize these with some festive colored sprinkles or shaped sprinkles like a bat, cat, pumpkin, etc.

Store in an airtight container. These cookies store well up to a week in an airtight container. It is best to keep them in them in a cool, dry area.
