Monster Eyeballs Recipes

MONSTER EYE BALLS RICE KRISPIE BITES

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a medium pan.
• Add 2 cups of Mini Marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
• Take the pan off the heat.
• Add food coloring and mix.
• Add 2 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal and mix until they are completely covered with the marshmallow mixture.
• Allow the Rice Krispie Mixture to cool slightly.
• Measure .7 oz of mixture and roll into a ball.
• Press a large Wilton Candy Eye into the ball. Mold the Rice Krispie Treat mixture around the eyeball. If the Rice Krispie Treat mixture is still warm when it cools the Candy Eye will stick to the Monster Eyes Rice Krispie Bites.
• Allow Rice Krispie Bites to cool.
• Repeat for the other two Monster Eye colors.

MONSTER EYEBALLS

Steps:

• 1. Blend the peanut butter with the butter, sugar, and vanilla in a medium bowl. It may be easiest to use your hands (kids love doing this).
• 2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper. Roll the peanut butter mixture by teaspoons into small balls and place on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up the eyeballs.
• 3. Put the chocolate chips and shortening in a microwave-safe bowl and melt the chocolate in the microwave: Heat on high for 60 seconds, and then stir well. If it's not quite smooth, heat in two or three 10-second bursts, stirring well after each burst. (Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate, stirring frequently, in a double boiler, over just-simmering water. Avoid overheating, which can cause chocolate to seize up into a stiff mass.)
• 4. Take the sheet of balls from the refrigerator; use a fork or a toothpick to dip each one most of the way into the chocolate, leaving a round or oval opening of undipped peanut butter on top. (This opening in the chocolate will be the cornea.) Hold each ball over the chocolate to catch the drips, and then return to the wax paper, cornea side up.
• 5. Place an M&M in the center of the peanut butter cornea to make an iris. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving. Store the eyeballs in the refrigerator or freezer and serve chilled.

MONSTER EYEBALL SUGAR COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In medium bowl, stir cookie mix, softened butter and egg until soft dough forms. Stir in 1/4 cup candy sprinkles.
• Shape dough into 36 (1 1/4-inch) balls; heavily roll balls in colored sugar. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Discard any remaining colored sugar after rolling balls.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. Cool 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets to cooling rack. Immediately press candy eyeballs on tops of cookies. Cool completely, about 30 minutes. Store covered at room temperature.
