Delightfully simple and festive, these Easy Puff Pastry Bats are perfect for a quick Halloween treat. Flaky puff pastry envelops a sweet Nutella or Biscoff spread, baked to golden perfection for a crispy, chocolatey bite-sized delight.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 puff pastry sheet (thawed if frozen)
  • Nutella or Biscoff spread, enough to cover half the pastry sheet
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pastry: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Roll out your thawed puff pastry sheet on a clean surface.
  2. Spread the filling: Evenly spread Nutella or Biscoff spread over half of the puff pastry sheet, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Fold and seal: Fold the pastry sheet in half so the spread is sandwiched between the two layers. Press down gently to seal the edges together.
  4. Cut shapes: Use a bat-shaped cookie cutter to cut individual pastries from the folded puff pastry sheet. Gather any scraps, re-roll, and cut more shapes as needed.
  5. Apply egg wash: Place the bat-shaped pastries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg wash to achieve a shiny, golden finish.
  6. Bake to perfection: Bake in the preheated oven at 400°F for 15 minutes or until the pastries are puffed and golden brown.
  7. Cool and serve: Allow the puff pastry bats to cool slightly before serving to enjoy the gooey, melted filling inside.

Notes

  • Make sure the puff pastry is fully thawed if frozen to ensure even baking and puffiness.
  • You can substitute Nutella or Biscoff with any chocolate or nut butter spread of your choice.
  • Use a sharp cutter to get clean shapes; if you don’t have a bat-shaped cutter, you can gently cut triangles or other Halloween shapes.
  • For a richer flavor, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon or sugar on the egg wash before baking.
  • Serve warm for the best melty texture, or at room temperature for a more portable treat.
