Ingredients
Scale
- 20–24 chocolate wafer cookies or chocolate graham crackers
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons blueberry jam or preserves
- Candy eyes (optional)
- 1–2 tablespoons melted dark chocolate (for attaching wings and decorations)
- Optional: crushed freeze-dried blueberries or purple sugar for garnish
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add powdered sugar and vanilla, then beat to stiff peaks. Fold in blueberry jam until combined.
- Create wings: Break chocolate cookies in half diagonally to form two triangular “wings.”
- Assemble bats: Spread or pipe blueberry crème onto a full cookie. Place wings on each side, pressing gently into the crème. Use melted chocolate to help secure if needed.
- Add details: Dab melted chocolate to attach candy eyes or sprinkle with sugar/berries.
- Chill: Refrigerate bats for 15 minutes before serving to set.
Notes
- For neat wings: Score cookies with a knife before breaking.
- Don’t overmix: Stop whipping cream once stiff peaks form.
- Keep chilled: Store in the fridge until serving for best texture.
- Variations: Use strawberry or raspberry jam for “bloody” bats, or color the filling black for a gothic look.
- Storage: Refrigerate up to 48 hours, but avoid freezing.
