Spooky Halloween Eyeballs

Spooky Halloween Eyeballs
These tasty eyeballs are always a crowd pleaser! They are basically a white chocolate version of buckeyes, but its the attention to detail that always seals the deal!

Ingredients of Spooky Halloween Eyeballs
* 1 cups creamy peanut butter
* 1 cup softened butter (room temp.)
* 1 tsp vanilla extract
* 3 cups powdered sugar
* 2 bags white chocolate chips
* 1 M&Ms only eye colors (blue, brown, and green)
* 1 Red food coloring GEL and toothpicks

Preparation of Spooky Halloween Eyeballs
Mix together peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and sugar. Roll pieces into ball shapes (not too big cuz they are VERY rich tasting). Place all the peanut butter balls onto a cookie sheet and place the sheet in the fridge for at least an hour. (If you have room, put them in the freezer! They keep their shape better when you dip them in the chocolate but the fridge works well too).

Melting the White Chocolate of Spooky Halloween Eyeballs:
Chocolate can be very temperamenta! Microwave 2/3 only heating 20 seconds at a time. (heat and stir, heat and stir) Avoid getting any water/moisture in the chocolate cuz it will clump and ruin it. DO NOT even lick the spoon. Even that is enough to ruin it! (Plus its unsanitary is you are making these for others! ;)

Use a spoon and a toothpick to dip the balls into the white chocolate. And place back onto the cookie sheet. While still wet, place an M&M on top (I like to cover up the toothpick hole with ‘em)

Once the white chocolate has set and hardened, dip a toothpick into the red gel food coloring and draw on veins.
