BLOODSHOT EYEBALLS HALLOWEEN TREATS RECIPE - (4.7/5)



Bloodshot Eyeballs Halloween Treats Recipe - (4.7/5) image

Provided by msippigrl

Number Of Ingredients 9

DECORATIONS:
CRISPY PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
1 (16-OUNCE) jar creamy peanut butter, about 1 1/2 cups, I used Reduce Fat Creamy Jif
1 stick salted butter, 1/2 cup
2 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
3 cups Rice Krispies cereal, slightly crushed
White chocolate chips, white almond bark, or white candy melting wafers (I used the melting wafers)
Brown M&M's candies
Red tinted icing (I used confectioners sugar, dash salt, and enough water for somewhat thick consistency, then tinted it with liquid red food color to desired shade)

Steps:

  • Combine the confectioners sugar and cereal in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and stir in the peanut butter until melted. (Reheat briefly if needed.) Pour mixture over the cereal mixture and stir until combined well. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Shape the mixture into balls (mine were about 3/4") and place on the parchment lined pan. (If the mixture gets too soft to handle, refrigerate for another 10 minutes.) Refrigerate the balls for 30-45 minutes or put in the freezer for 15-20 minutes. (For time's sake, I covered them and refrigerated overnight.) When ready to dip the balls, melt the white chocolate as directed on package. Dip the balls in the white chocolate and place on parchment paper, foil, or waxed paper. (I used a fork to lift them out of the chocolate, letting the excess drip back into the bowl, then pushed it off the fork with a knife edge.) Place a M&M in the center of each ball as they are dipped. Set aside to harden at room temperature. Place red tinted icing in a ziptop plastic bag then make a tiny cut off one corner and pipe 3 vertical squiggles onto the sides of each ball. Allow time to completely set before trimming off any excess white chocolate from the base of the balls with a small paring knife. Store in the refrigerator.

BLOODSHOT ONE EYE



Bloodshot One Eye image

This is a twist on a more traditional egg dish, "egg-in-a-hole." A hole is made in a slice of toast, and an egg is cracked into the hole and cooked into the bread. This version adds a sweet red pepper along with the egg.

Categories     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes

Yield Makes 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 slices of white bread
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 thin strips roasted red pepper (from a jar)
2 eggs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter or a drinking glass, cut a hole in the center of each piece of bread. Swirl 1 tablespoon of butter in a hot, nonstick skillet. Add the bread and the cut-outs to the pan to lightly brown, about 2 minutes.
  • Add a small piece of butter to each hole. Lay down strips of pepper to resemble a "bloodshot" eye. Crack an egg into each hole. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Let it cook until set, about 1 minute. Carefully turn the bread slice and the round cutouts and cook on the other side for another minute. Serve bloodshot side up with the cut-out toast for dipping.

Tips:

  • Linda's Bloodshot Eyeballs are an easy yet delightfully spooky Halloween party food that is perfect for kids and adults alike.
  • To make the eyeballs, you will need hard-boiled eggs, red food coloring, corn syrup, and chocolate chips.
  • You can use different food coloring to create different colored eyeballs, such as green, yellow, or orange. Gel food coloring will provide a more vivid color than liquid food coloring.
  • Use a toothpick or skewer to help you insert the chocolate chips into the eyeballs.
  • To make the "veins" in the eyeballs, you can use a toothpick to drag a small amount of red food coloring from the center of the eyeball to the edge.
  • For a more realistic effect, you can add a drop of red food coloring to the white of the hard-boiled egg before you add the food coloring to the corn syrup.
  • If you are making the eyeballs ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
  • To serve, place the eyeballs on a platter and enjoy!

Linda's Bloodshot Eyeballs are a fun and festive Halloween party food that is sure to be a hit with your guests. They are easy to make, using a few simple ingredients, and they can be customized to your liking. So get creative and have fun with this spooky treat!
