Ingredients
Scale
Eyeballs
- 12 Oreos
- 12 Life Saver Gummies
- 12 Chocolate Chips
- 1/4 cup Red Candy Melting Chips
Instructions
- Prepare Oreos: Carefully remove the tops of the Oreos and set the bottoms aside on a cookie sheet. Save the Oreo tops to use in another treat.
- Melt Red Candy: Heat the red candy melting chips in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well and repeat heating in 10-15 second increments until the candy is fully melted and smooth.
- Pipe Bloodshot Lines: Transfer the melted red candy into a zippered sandwich bag and snip a tiny tip off a corner. Pipe thin zigzag red lines from the center of each Oreo bottom out to the edge to simulate bloodshot eyes.
- Add the Iris: Place a Life Saver gummy in the center of each Oreo as the eyeball’s iris.
- Attach the Pupil: Pipe a small dot of red melted candy in the middle of each gummy to act as glue. Quickly place a chocolate chip flat side up on top to mimic the pupil.
- Set Treats: Place the completed Oreo eyeballs in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to allow the candy to set and harden.
Notes
- Be careful when removing Oreo tops to keep the cookie bottom intact.
- If you don’t have Life Saver gummies, jelly candies of a similar shape and size can be used as an iris substitute.
- You can use any color of candy melts, but red is best for a spooky, bloodshot effect.
- For quicker candy melting, use a double boiler on low heat as an alternative to the microwave.
- Store finished eyeballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 3 days.
