Ingredients
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut or sunflower seed butter)
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt optional
- 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats uncooked
- 2 tablespoons dry chocolate cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips, optional
- Broken blue tortilla chips, pretzels, or nuts for bat wings
- Eye-decorated candies
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, combine oats, the coarsely chopped chocolate, creamy peanut butter, cocoa powder, sea salt, vanilla extract, and honey. Beat until the mixture is well combined.
Using a cookie scoop or 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop even-sized amounts of dough and roll into balls. Place on a parchment paper-lined plate and freeze for 15 minutes before eating.
Remove from fridge and add your tortilla chips, nuts, or pretzels for bat wings . Then using a drop of honey, attach the eyes to the front. Store these bats in an airtight container for 4-5 days (we keep ours in the fridge).
