Graham cracker BATS!

The Tiny FunnelBats! You can cut chocolate wafer cookies in half and stick them into anything and they will look like bats. This is a super fast treat that requires no cooking- a 10 minute snack.

The Tiny Funnel
I used the chocolate wafers as wings with last years doughnuts bats. I tested this current set up with chocolate graham crackers but then saw the Keebler Deluxe Fudge covered graham crackers hanging out in the grocery aisle nearby- a less “healthy” option but delicious.

Ingredients:
Nabisco Chocolate wafer cookies
Keebler Deluxe Fudge covered graham cracker cookies or Chocolate graham crackers
Nut butter (I used peanut butter)
Red gel
Sprinkles 
Candy googly eyes- I found large and tiny (Wilton brand) googly eyes at Michael's - in white and RED! and multi colored ones at Joanne Fabrics.
Optional:
I bought a crinkle cutter at a yard sale and it makes a fun cut but really a serrated knife will do the job. 
Tweezers- it’s hard to position the fangs without them if you don’t have tiny coordinated fingers.

 

      1. Cut the chocolate cookie wafer in half with the serrated knife (saw across).
      2. Use any broken bits to make 2 tiny triangle bat ears.
      3. Spread peanut butter on one side of the graham cracker.
      4. Position the wings and ears and then sandwich them in place with a second graham cracker.
      5. Add 2 gel dots for the eyes and a gel smile.
      6. Put the googly eyes on the gel dots, then add the sprinkles “fangs" with the tweezers.
      7. Set up a production line and you’ll have a plate of bats in no time!

        Spooktacular (doughnut) Bats


        Super simple Halloween treats!
        They're fast and easy--perfect for that treat/snack you forgot to make for a school/sports/dance party.
        Run to the store-get the stuff and whip these up!


        Ingredients:
        Chocolate covered doughnuts (I used Entemanns mini chocolate frosted doughnuts)
        Broken Nabisco Chocolate Wafers (broken in half)
        Chocolate frosting (for glue)
        Candy eyes


        Fang options:
        Slivered almonds, sprinkles, chocolate covered sunflower seeds, cut mini marshmallows and flattened vanilla Tootsie rolls. 






        Break the wafer in half and stick a wing on either side of the doughnut.
         

        Your choice for fangs:
        If using almond slivers or chocolate covered sunflower seeds- just shove them in the doughnut.
        OR
        If using sprinkles-poke 2 holes with a toothpick and add a sprinkles in each hole.
        OR
        If using mini marshmallows-cut fang triangles from a mini marshmallow and attach with dabs of frosting.
        OR
        If using a vanilla Tootsie roll-warm a roll in the microwave for 10 seconds then flatten it with your fingers.
        Cut lots of fangs from the candy using (clean) scissors.

        Attach with dabs of frosting.
         

        Add the candy eyes with dabs of frosting (I just dip the back in the frosting and stick them on).
         

        Break 2 triangles from a wafer and add to the top of the doughnut to make the ears.

        Ta-da!
        You're done!
