The 'Bat'klava pastries offer a modern spin on the traditional dessert enjoyed throughout eastern Europe by altering the shape from conventional squares to tiny bats. The dough is layered with honey, orange blossom crushed nuts and sugar and baked before being being cut into simple bats with pointed wings. Each piece is then decorated with a grinning fang face making an ideal snack for adults and children alike. The added whimsy to the pastry adds a playful element to enjoyment.
