2 sheets puff pastry Keeps the bats flaky and light; ensure they stay cold until ready to use.
1 egg beaten Gives the pastries a shiny, golden finish when brushed on top.

1 cup Nutella A rich chocolate hazelnut filling that provides sweet decadence; can be substituted with almond butter or fruit jam for different flavors.
1/3 cup chocolate chips Optional, adds an extra layer of chocolaty goodness for Nutella lovers.

1/3 cup powdered sugar Dust over the cooled pastries for a sweet finishing touch and festive look.

Preheat the Oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Unwrap one cold sheet of puff pastry and lay it flat on your prepared tray.
Generously spread the Nutella over the pastry sheet, covering it evenly.
Place another sheet of puff pastry on top of the Nutella, aligning it well.
Cut out bat shapes from the layered pastries using Halloween-themed cookie cutters, about 18 treats.
Brush the tops of the bats with the beaten egg. Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Keep puff pastry cold for best results. Optional: Add a sprinkle of flaky sea salt before baking for a sweet and salty surprise.
