Ingredients
Brownies

1cupsugar
1/4cupbrown sugar
2large eggs
1teaspoonvanilla
2/3cupflour

4Tbsp.butter
2Tbsp.honey(or light corn syrup)
2Tbsp.milk
Decorations
12-16Oreo cookies(you only need 10, but sometimes they break when you cut them so it's a good idea to have a few extras)
candy eyes
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Prepare a 9″x13″ baking dish with parchment paper and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Note: You’ll want to leave an inch or two of parchment paper over the edge on each end so that you can lift the brownies out of the pan later on.
In a large mixing bowl mix melted butter, sugar, and brown sugar. Mix until creamed and smooth. This can be done by hand (with a Danish dough hook) or with an electric mixer on low speed until just combined.
Add eggs and vanilla. Mix.
Add flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Mix.
Pour brownie batter into the prepared baking dish. Spread with a rubber spatula.
Bake brownies for 20-22 minutes. Brownies may seem undercooked, but that is fine. They will continue to bake in the pan while it cools.
Let brownies cool for 20 minutes (they'll still be warm). While they sit, make the ganache.Combine ganache ingredients and melt on the stovetop over med-low heat OR in the microwave in 15-20 second intervals, stirring in between each interval until melted and smooth.
Pour ganache over warm brownies and spread until smooth. Let brownies sit for 1 hour at room temperature then chill for 1 hour in the refrigerator. The glaze should be set enough to slice, but soft enough to still press the decorations into it.
Lift the brownies from the pan, using the parchment paper, and set them on a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to trim the edges and slice them into 20 squares.
HOW TO DECORATE BAT BROWNIES
Separate Oreo cookies, scraping out the filling. Cut each cookie in half using a sharp knife.
Press 2 candy eyes and 2 Oreo wings into each brownie.

Notes
