Steps:
- Empty the dough mix into a bowl and season to taste. Make a well, then mix with water and the olive oil, according to pack instructions. With a flat-bladed knife, bring the dough together; it should be slightly sticky.
- Knead the dough for 5 mins on a lightly floured surface until it feels springy and smooth. Lift into a large, lightly-oiled bowl, cover with oiled cling film and set aside in a warm place until doubled in size, about 20 mins. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6.
- Tip the dough out onto the worktop, flatten with your hands and sprinkle over the garlic and parsley. Knead for another min until the garlic and parsley are spread evenly through the dough. Pull the dough into 12 walnut-sized pieces and roll into balls. If your kids like olives, poke one into each ball to make it look like an eye. Place on a baking sheet.
- Brush each ball with a little beaten egg and bake for 10-12 mins until golden and risen. Meanwhile, mix all the dip ingredients together in a small bowl and season to taste. Serve the eyeballs dunked into the dip. Eyeballs will keep in an airtight container for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to a month.

CHIVE AND GARLIC DIP MIX
This dip comes from my "Gifts in a Bag" recipe book. You could also use jelly jars for the dry ingredients. Just attach a gift tag with the directions on how to prepare the dip. Cook time is chill time. Tag should read: Combine the Chive and Garlic Mix with the sour cream. Stir until well blended. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving. Serve with your favorite chips, crackers of fresh vegetables.

CREAM CHEESE GARLIC DIP
This is an incredibly easy cream cheese & garlic dip that I first tasted about fifty years ago and have been eating and making ever since. Neighbors of my parents made this and brought it to a New Year's Eve Party my folks gave and this recipe has been passed on to one and all who have had it. You can serve it as prepared or get creative and add different ingredients to suit your own tastes. I routinely add chives either fresh or freeze dried depending what I have on hand and I have sliced up stuffed green olives and that was good as well, a little salty but it had a good taste. The other nice thing with this recipe is you can double, triple, etc. using as much or as little garlic as you like. It is best served with rippled or dipping potato chips or even veggies. I have found that the lite brand cream cheeses are not as good to use in this recipe with the taste and consistency defintely affected. Try it, you'll like it.

Tips:
- Use large cloves of garlic for a more impressive presentation. - Cut the garlic cloves in half lengthwise, making sure to keep the root end intact. This will help the garlic cloves hold their shape while cooking. - Marinate the garlic cloves in olive oil, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help them to brown and caramelize evenly. - Cook the garlic cloves over medium heat until they are tender and slightly browned. Do not overcrowd the pan, or the garlic cloves will steam instead of fry. - Serve the garlic cloves immediately with the creamy chive dip. The dip can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. ###Conclusion:
Garlic eyeballs with creamy chive dip are a fun and easy appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your guests, and they are also a great way to use up leftover garlic cloves. So next time you have a party or gathering, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
