Things You'll Need

• Large mixing bowl

3. Form the mixture into walnut-size balls, and put them on a sheet of waxed paper.

4. Put the white chocolate chips in a small saucepan and melt them over low heat

5. Dip the peanut butter balls into the melted white chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the pan. Put them back on the waxed paper.

6. Put an M&M immediately into the center of each coated peanut butter ball, and put a small black "iris" in the middle of each M&M with the black gel.

7. Use the red gel to create the appearance of bloodshot eyes. Allow the peanut butter eyeballs to set up before serving.

Tips & Warnings

• You can make peanut butter eyeballs up to 24 hours in advance. Just put them in the refrigerator and cover them with aluminum foil. However, wait until the last minute to add the gel icing.
