Peanut butter Eyeballs!<\/p>\n

\"halloeyes\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We love peanut butter eyeballs.  My daughter found  the recipe several years ago  and it has  since been a Halloween family favorite.  The little kids in our family like them because they\u2019re kinda scary, Grandma likes them because they don\u2019t look very realistic and everyone likes them because they\u2019re delicious! The saying, \u201cbet you can\u2019t eat just one!\u201d certainly applies to these delicious treats.  <\/p>\n

What you will need:<\/p>\n

2 cups confectioners’ sugar, divided
1\/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1\/2 pound white candy coating (in small pieces) or white chocolate chips
24 milk chocolate M&M’s
1 tablespoon water
1\/4 to 1\/2 teaspoon red food coloring<\/p>\n

Directions <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Mix together 1 cup of the confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter and butter. Roll into 1-in. balls; place on a waxed paper-lined pan. Chill for 30 minutes or until firm.\n
  2. In a microwave, melt white candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip balls in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper. Immediately top of each eyeball with an M and  M to make the pupil. <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Make squiggly lines to make the eyeballs  look \u201cbloodshot\u201d.  <\/p>\n

    Makes about 2 dozen eyeballs. <\/p>\n
