How to Make Bloodshot Eyeballs for Halloween

Make a big tray of bloodshot eyeballs, and they'll be the hit of your next Halloween party. They may look comic-book gruesome, but there's nothing frightening about the taste. Bloodshot eyeballs are actually delicious peanut butter and white chocolate candies.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Baking sheet
• Waxed paper
• 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
• 3 tbsp. softened butter
• Electric mixer
• Large mixing bowl
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
• 6 oz. candy coating, white chocolate
• Small microwaveable bowl
• 1 bag of plain M&Ms candy
• 1 tube of red decorator frosting

1. Cover a baking sheet with a large piece of waxed paper and set it aside.

2. Beat 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter with 3 tbsp. of softened butter until they are light and creamy. Continue beating the mixture as you add 2 cups of powdered sugar and 1 tsp. of pure vanilla extract. The mixture should be smooth and free of lumps.

3. Roll eyeball-size balls of the mixture and put them on the covered baking sheet. Put the baking sheet in the freezer for a minimum of 30 minutes.

4. Place the white chocolate candy coating in a small microwaveable bowl for a few seconds, just long enough for the candy to melt.

5. Dip the eyeballs lightly in the melted white chocolate, and place a plain M&M in the center of each one. Put the eyeballs back on the baking sheet and put them in the refrigerator until they're firm.

6. Use a tube of red decorator frosting to make squiggly veins.

7. Store the eyeballs in an airtight container and put them in the refrigerator.
