Directions
-
Using a serrated knife, carefully cut 18 of the chocolate wafer cookies into quarters.
-
Line a large baking sheet or tray with waxed paper or parchment paper.
-
To form each bat, place two cookie quarters on the prepared paper so they resemble wings, spaced about 1/4 inch apart.
-
Repeat this process to create 18 bat shapes, setting them aside.
-
Melt the milk chocolate candy melts according to package directions, ensuring they are smooth and fluid.
-
Drop approximately 1/2 teaspoon of the melted chocolate onto the center of each bat, connecting the two "wing" quarters.
-
Use a toothpick to gently smooth the melted chocolate into a small, uniform circle in the center of each bat.
-
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature before handling or serving.

Note
Storage: Store the finished bat cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep them in a cool, dry place to prevent the chocolate from melting or the wafers from becoming stale.
Variations: You can use dark chocolate candy melts for a richer flavor or white chocolate for a contrast in color. For extra decoration, you can sprinkle edible glitter or tiny candy eyes onto the chocolate before it sets.
Tips: If you do not have a serrated knife, you can use a sharp chef's knife, but press down firmly and smoothly to avoid crumbling the delicate wafers. Ensure the melted chocolate is not too hot when applying it to the cookies to prevent them from becoming soggy.
