Why These Bat Wing Chocolate Croissants Are Spooktacular

Filling and Shaping the Bat Wing Chocolate Croissants
Begin with pre-made or homemade crescent roll dough for convenience. Carefully tuck quality chocolate pieces into each triangle of dough before rolling. Gently pinch, fold, and curve the dough to create the signature “bat wing” appearance—thin, pointed edges that flare out, mimicking the look of real wings. For an extra festive touch, brush with a bit of egg wash and sprinkle with dark cocoa powder before baking.
Making Your Bat Wing Croissants Look Hauntingly Good
After baking, drizzle with a bit of melted chocolate for added drama. If you want to go all out, use a dot of icing and candy eyes to give your bat wings a cute or eerie personality, making them irresistible for party guests. Serve warm for melting centers or at room temperature for a neat finger-food treat.
