Instructions:
- Preheat oven according to the brownie mix package instructions. Prepare the brownie batter as directed.
- Bake in a greased 9×13-inch pan until set, then let cool completely.
- Cut brownies into squares or circles using a sharp knife or cookie cutter.
- Carefully break each cookie half into two equal pieces to form bat wings.
- Press two cookie wings into the sides of each brownie piece.
- Use a dab of melted chocolate or frosting to attach two candy eyes on top.
- Chill brownies for 10 minutes to help the decorations set, then serve.
Variations:
- Cobweb look: Drizzle melted white chocolate over the cookie wings for a spooky web effect.
- Pumpkin bats: Use orange candy melts for the eyes instead of white.
- Mini bats: Cut brownies into bite-sized pieces and use mini cookies for wings.
- Extra flavor: Add a layer of chocolate frosting on top of the brownies before decorating for more richness.
Tips:
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to prevent crumbling.
- If cookies break unevenly, don’t worry—bat wings aren’t perfect in nature either!
- To make assembly easier, work on parchment paper so melted chocolate cleanup is simple.
- Store decorated brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
