Ingredients

Brownies

  • 1/2 cup butter melted
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 2/3 cup flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder (I prefer Hershey’s Special Dark)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Glaze

  • 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 Tbsp. butter
  • 2 Tbsp. honey (or light corn syrup)
  • 2 Tbsp. milk

Decorations

  • 12-16 Oreo 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
