02 - 120 grams cream cheese or vegan alternative
03 - 8 black olives, pitted and sliced for wings and eyes

04 - 12 chocolate sandwich cookies (e.g., Oreos)
05 - 24 almond slivers or mini pretzels (for wings)
06 - 24 mini candy eyes
→ Vegetables & Dips
07 - 1 cup baby carrots

13 - 100 grams red or black grapes
14 - 50 grams dried fruit (apricots, cranberries)
# Directions:
01 - Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each cracker. Shape black olive slices into small crescents for wings and rounds for eyes, then place them to resemble bats on the crackers.
02 - Carefully twist open each sandwich cookie. Insert two almond slivers or mini pretzels into the cream filling to form wings. Place two candy eyes on top and gently replace the cookie lid.
03 - Place hummus or ranch dip in a small bowl and arrange baby carrots, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper strips around it for dipping.
04 - Distribute cubed cheddar cheese, grapes, and dried fruit across open spaces on the serving platter.
05 - Position savory and sweet bats prominently to simulate flying bats. Fill remaining gaps with additional crackers or fruit to complete the board.
06 - Present the assembled platter immediately and enjoy.
