White vegan chocolate chips

Dried raisins or cranberries

Black liquid icing

About ¼ cup of shredded coconut/cacao nibs/chocolate flakes for dusting

Method

1. Place the almonds into a food processor and blitz until you have a coarse flour. Add all the other ball ingredients and blitz again until you have sticky dough consistency.
2. Roll the mixture into small golf ball sized balls, and dust them in either the shredded coconut, cacao nibs or chocolate flakes.
3. Split the Oreos into 2 and break in half to create wings for the bats, before gently tucking the wings into the sides of the bats.
4. Add the chocolate chips for eyes and use the black icing to draw the pupils.
5. Slice the raisin or cranberries in half and pop them on as a nose. Enjoy!
