How To Make These Bat Snack Bags
1. Paint the Clothespin: Paint a wooden clothespin black and allow it to dry completely.
2. Add the Face: Use a white marker to draw two eyes and spooky teeth on the top of the clothespin.
3. Fill the Bag: Add chocolate cereal to a sandwich bag, filling it about halfway. Do not fill the bag all the way.
4. Create the Bat Shape: Seal the sandwich bag, then fold the top portion down.
5. Clip the Bat: Pinch the folded section in the center with the painted clothespin. The cereal-filled sides will fan out to create the bat’s wings.
Fun Variations For These Bat Snack Bags
Add in any of your favorite cereal: A chocolate cereal is best as the brown color helps make the snack bag look like a bat.
Some fun ideas include:
- Chocolate muddy buddies or puppy chow
- Halloween-colored candy (black and orange M&Ms, candy corn)
- Attaching a small tag with a Halloween pun, like “Fangs for being my friend!”
