Kitchen Tools Needed To Make Bat Cakes

Which type of milk chocolate should I use?

Stick with traditional milk chocolate without anything added, such as peanuts or almonds. You can use any brand of milk chocolate that you can find. However, be sure to choose chocolate that melts perfectly. It’s also possible to use chocolate almond bark for this recipe because of how easy it melts.

Can I eat the Halloween Bat Snack Cakes immediately?

After you’ve assembled the Halloween Bat Snack Cakes, put them in the fridge and let them chill for a minimum of five minutes before you serve them. It’s good to leave them in the fridge for several minutes because the milk chocolate turns into a solid and leaves the cakes tasting their best.

How do I add the melted chocolate to these cakes?

It’s best to use a squeeze bottle to squirt the milk chocolate out. If you don’t have a squeeze bottle, you can adding the milk chocolate to a pastry bag then squeeze it out from the bag.

You can also use a resealable sandwich bag if you don’t have a pastry bag. You’d need to fill it with chocolate and then snip a corner off it before squirting the chocolate over the cake and on the sides to create the bat wings.

What should I do if I don’t have a double boiler?

If you don’t have a double boiler for melting chocolate, you can always microwave the chocolate to transform it from a solid to a liquid. If you’re planning to microwave the chocolate, do it in 15-second intervals to avoid burning the chocolate as it gets hot.

Pay close attention to the chocolate and always use a microwave-safe container before you even get started.
