Here are recipes I have made over the years or someone else has. They are not necessarily my own recipes. I have found them in magazines, gotten them from friends and from the internet, as well as cook books. I hope you can use them. Enjoy!

Scary Eye Ball Cookies

Here is the finished eye ball
Here is what they look like, before dipping into the white chocolate
these are a no-bake cookie, they go in the freezer
This is the Butter Finger Candy Bar chopped, yummy!


I got this recipe from somewhere online. I made them for Halloween last year and posted it on my other blog, you can see that post here. I thought I had gotten all the pics, but I missed a few!

These are so yummy, just check out the ingredients and they are so easy, easy peasy if I do say so myself!

Scary Eyeball Cookies

Ingredients

1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons salted butter (I used margarine)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 Butter Finger Candy Bar-chopped
2 cups white chocolate chips
1 pkg Butter Finger BB's Candies (these are for the eye color, I used M&M Minis)
1 small tube red decorator icing

1. Line a cookie sheet with wax paper.
2. In a large bowl, with mixer, beat peanut butter and butter until creamy.
3. Beat in powdered sugar until mixture is moistened and hold together.
4. Stir in Butter Finger bar.
5. Shape into 1-inch size balls (I think ours were a lot bigger then this!) and place on prepared cookie sheet.
6. Freeze 1 hour.
7. Melt white chocolate chips in microwave until creamy.
8. Remove cookies from freezer. Using a toothpick, dip eyeballs into chocolate.
9. Let excess drip off and put back on cookie sheet.
10. Press one Butter Finger BB on top of each eyeball (again, I used M&M minis)
11. Refrigerate eye balls until chocolate is set.
12. Use tube of red icing to pipe lines to create bloodshot markings.
13. Store covered in fridge, serve cold.

These are awesome! I wanted to make them for Thanksgiving and instead of making them eyeballs, I was going to color the white chocolate chips Fall colors, like orange, yellow and red. Then, I thought of making Christmas Balls! Same thing as before, but not eyeballs, just red and green balls, like those on a Christmas tree. You can really make these all year, for all the different holidays, just not eyeballs, ya know? For 4th of July, make them red, white and blue! Get creative, let me know if you make them and how they turn out. This recipe is supposed to make 30 eyeballs, but like I said before, I think ours were a lot bigger then the 1-inch size the recipe suggests.

Enjoy!
