Dracula Eyes.
My mom started making these when I was in high school. I came home one night, and our table was covered with these eyeballs. It is a little creepy to look at, but don't be scared...unless you are allergic to peanut butter! Basically, these are the same thing as Buckeyes
. My sister just took them in for my nephew's kindergarten party, and the kids went nuts over them.Makes about 20
1/2 c peanut butter
3 Tbl butter, softened
1 c powdered sugar
4 oz vanilla candy coating
M&M's
red & black gel icing
- Stir together peanut butter and butter.
- Gradually add powdered sugar, stirring until combined.
- Shape into 1 inch balls.
- Place on waxed paper and let stand about 20 minutes until dry.
- Melt candy coating (it's easier to do 1 square at a time) melting in microwave for about 45 seconds or so. Don't overcook!
- Dip balls, one at a time, into coating. Let excess drip off. Place on waxed paper.
- Press m&m's on top (m's facing down)
- Let stand til firm.
- Add black dot on top of m&m for pupil.
- Drizzle red gel onto balls for bloodshot eyes.
