# How to Make It:
01 - Spread a thin layer of cream cheese onto each whole wheat cracker. Cut black olives into small crescents for wings and small rounds for eyes. Arrange olive pieces on crackers to resemble bats.
02 - Carefully twist open each chocolate sandwich cookie. Insert two almond slivers or mini pretzels into the cream filling to create wings. Place two mini candy eyes on top, then gently replace the cookie lid.
03 - Place hummus or ranch dip in a small bowl at the center of the serving platter. Arrange baby carrots, cucumber slices, cherry tomatoes, and bell pepper strips around the dip.
04 - Scatter cubed cheddar cheese, grapes, and dried fruit across open spaces on the platter to complement the arrangement.
05 - Position savory and sweet bats prominently on the board to create a flying motif. Fill remaining spaces with extra crackers or fruit to enhance visual appeal.
06 - Serve immediately and enjoy the festive Halloween snack selection.
