- Shape the marshmallows: Take each marshmallow and cut a thin slice off one side to create a flat base.
- Attach wings: Using a small amount of chocolate frosting, attach two chocolate-covered biscuits to the sides of each marshmallow.
- Decorate the bats: Use the remaining chocolate frosting to create eyes and mouth for your bats.
- Chill and serve: Place the completed bats in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to set the frosting.
Notes
Choose high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Properly whip the cream for better volume. Chill the assembled bats to help firm them up before serving.
