Ingredients

* Cream Puffs
* White Chocolate Chips
* Milk Chocolate Chips
* Food Coloring (optional)
* Gel icing (optional)
* Sandwich sticks or some type of mini skewer

Directions

* I started with cheater/ready-made cream puffs. I scored 110 of these babies from Costco for 9.99. That’s hard to beat!
* Then I, dipped them in white chocolate candy melts.
I just put it in the microwave for 30 seconds, then stir, then repeat (usually 3-4 times) until its melted. Dip about half-way in.
* Then while it’s still wet, put a chocolate chip, upside-down in the center. Don’t press it all the way down, leave it raised a little.
* Now set them down and let them dry.
* I Actually skewered them at this point, two on each sandwich skewer, because it helped keep them upright to dry and to then add the gel color.
* I used the colored gel icing tubes but the original recipe suggested dying the white chocolate different colors for the iris part. I just didn’t have a squeezy bottle to administer this task. The gel icing is gooey and creepy and you can drag a toothpick through it to make bloodshot eyes which is cool but remember it doesn’t harden like the chocolate, so be careful in how you package them if you go this route. :)

Voila! A creepy set of delicious monster eyeballs for an awesome Halloween treat! Whats even better is the cream puff makes such an awesome “squish” when you bite into it, you might, for a second, think you’re actually eating an eyeball. An awesomely, chocolate covered, creamy, delicious eyeball. 😀
