The Eyeball Obsession Continues

October 21, 2011

I’ve had an off week this week. I had all my ghoulish grub recipes made up and ready to go but just have not felt well this week and have been going to bed WAY early and sleeping much later than I should. I guess constantly burning the candle at multiple ends of the wick is eventually going to catch up with me and my flame is only expected to go out. Be sure and check back over the weekend to get the 3 remaining Halloweenie recipes I have brewed up (and check below for the winner of the $25 Walmart Gift Card).

But on with today’s recipe, which by the way is a twofer. I don’t know what my obsession is with making food look like eyeballs but it seems to be a common theme. The first Halloween recipe I ever blogged about (geez a whopping 3 years ago) was some Deviled Egg Eyeballs (side note check these totally cute Deviled Egg Spiders featured on The Sister’s Café today). Then last year as part of the first ever Ghoulish Grub week I made eyeballs out of powdered donuts and chocolate covered Oreos. This year a Bloody Eyeball Soup (it just darned on me how gross that sounds).

And today more eyeball cookies! I am sure you are all aware of the white chocolate dipped Nutter Butter cookies topped with two mini-chocolate chips to look like ghosts (well if you are unfamiliar with these cookies check out the second recipe below). Those cookies are so cute (who ever thought of that idea is a pure genius) but I decided to come up with my own version and of course my natural tendencies were eyeballs. Still super easy and of course eerie enough for Halloween!

One Year Ago: Espresso Brownies
