Nothing says spooky-cute quite like these Halloween Bat Brownies. Rich, fudgy brownies are transformed into festive little bats with chocolate cookie wings and googly candy eyes, making them as fun to decorate as they are to eat. They’re simple, kid-friendly, and guaranteed to steal the show on any Halloween dessert table.
The best part? You don’t need to be a baker to pull these off. With a boxed brownie mix, some sandwich cookies, and a handful of candy eyes, you can whip up a batch of edible bats in under an hour. They’re the perfect project for kids to help with — breaking cookies into wings and sticking on candy eyes is just the right balance of spooky and silly.
Flavor-wise, these treats are classic comfort: chewy brownies paired with crunchy chocolate cookies. The cookie wings add texture while the candy eyes bring personality, turning your dessert plate into a colony of edible bats. They’re ideal for school parties, Halloween movie nights, or as a make-ahead treat for trick-or-treat gatherings.
