These cute black bats are the perfect edible craft for Halloween.
Prep Time35 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Ingredients
1 box zipper snack bags
12 clothespins
small bottle of black craft paint
small bottle of white craft paint (or small wiggle eyes and glue)
1 bunch dark purple or black grapes (quartered for young children)
1 box Horizon chocolate grahams
Instructions
To make the bat bodies, paint the clothespins black. You can paint one side if you're in a hurry, or both. Let the black paint dry. Use a small paintbrush or toothpick to paint white dots for the eyes. Let dry and then even smaller black dots for the pupils. Alternatively, you could glue small wiggle eyes on to the clothespins. Let dry.
Fill the bags with about half way up with the snacks. One of the snacks goes on one side and the other on the other side. Use your fingers to separate them. Fold the zipper of the bag down the back and clamp with the clothespin. The first one may feel strange to make, but you'll get the hang of it!
Notes
Notes: Make sure your grapes aren't too wet and the bats aren't assembled too far in advance or the grahams will get stale or soggy.
