EDIBLE EYEBALLS
Super-sweet and Super-gross these babies could be perfect Monster-party / Halloween/ David Bowie fan club meeting treats!
My son got a Horrible Science book from her godparents
In it there was a recipe that really captured his imagination: edible eyeballs. It seemed a bit complicated at first but once we started making it wasn't that bad.
Recipe:
25g Rice Crispies
75g chocolate
8tbsp powdered sugar (mix it w water to make icing)
M&Ms
clingfilm
Step 1: I melted the chocolate over a bath of boiling water (I actually used the leftover choc from the candied oranges).
 |
| Step2: We mixed Rice Crispies into the chocolate |
 |
| Step 3: We spooned out the goo onto bits of clingfilm and wrapped them like so (see above). The amount spooned out should be more or less that of an eyeball :) | | | | |
|
Step 4: We placed the wrapped balls on a tray/plate and put them in the freezer or fridge to set.
Step 5: When they have hardened we unwrapped them and place them on baking paper
 |
| Step 6: We put icing on eyeballs, stuck an M&Ms onto each and put a small dollop of brown store bought icing for the pupils (should have been black) | | | | |

I made this monster as a birthday gift for one of my son's school friends...as they are both 6 I suspect this is one of many that I will make for upcoming birthday parties. I sewed a single layer of yellow felt triangles to make the horns/ears between the front and back side and stitched the sides of the horns with green felt just for decoration. Because sewing 4 layers of felt is quite difficult- when making the eyes- I first sewed the black layer on the light green, then the light green onto the white and finally the white of the eye onto the dark green body.
