Edible Eyeballs Recipe!
What you'll need
- Cookie sheet
- Waxed paper
- Mixing bowl
- 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
- 22 chocolate sandwich cookies
- Tablespoon
- Lifesaver Gummies
- A handful of chocolate chips
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- Microwaveable measuring cup or small, deep bowl
- Toothpicks
How to make it
- Line the cookie sheet with waxed paper and set it aside.
- Crush the
sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor,
or seal them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Combine the cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and stir until the ingredients are well combined.
- With
clean hands, roll half tablespoonfuls of the cookie mixture into balls
(about 1 1/4-inch in diameter) and place them on the waxed paper. Use
you thumb to make a shallow nickel-size depression in the top of each
ball.
- Chill the cookie balls until firm (about 1 hour).
- Select a
Lifesaver Gummy to use as an iris for each eyeball. Stretch the centers
to enlarge the holes a bit and insert a chocolate chip, tip down, in
each one. Set the irises aside for now.
- Pour the
white chocolate chips into the measuring cup or bowl and melt them in
the microwave according to the directions on the package.
- Insert a
toothpick into one of the chilled cookie balls. Dip the ball into the
melted white chocolate and then set it on the tray, using a second
toothpick to hold it in place while you pull the first one out.
Immediately set one of the irises atop the candy-coated ball and gently
press it into the depression. Repeat this step with the rest of the
cookie balls.
- Allow the
white chocolate coating to cool and harden before serving the eyeballs.
You can speed up the process by chilling them on the tray for a few
minutes. Store leftover eyeballs in an airtight container in the
refrigerator.
