Lori Lange of recipegirl.com shares her her super spooky, fun and easy recipe for Eyeball Truffles- a perfect treat for Halloween. Who knew Eyeballs could be so delicious?!
Eyeball Truffles
One (1 lb. 2oz) package chocolate sandwich cookies
One (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
white candy melts (or white chocolate bark)
blue decorator icing
red decorator icing
candy coated chocolate pieces
1. Open package of cookies and set 7 cookies aside to eat later. Put remaining cookies (including the cream center) in a large zip bag and crush them to fine crumbs. Place crumbs in a bowl and add the cream cheese. Use the back of a sturdy spoon to help blend it together.
2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a wax paper-lined cookie sheet. Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until they are chilled and firmed up a bit.
3. Melt white candy as directed on the package and then (using a teaspoon) dip balls melted white chocolate, tap off extra and set aside on wax paper covered cookie sheet to dry.
4. Use the blue decorator icing to pipe on a circle in the center of the truffle (to make the iris). Press a piece of candy coated chocolate in the center (to make the pupil).
5. Use the red decorator icing to squiggle lines from the center out to the sides- to create a bloodshot-look for the eyeball.
6. Let dry & then refrigerate until ready to serve.
Yield: About 36 eyeball truffles
Tips:
*For easy crushing, use a rolling pin or meat mallet to pound the cookies into crumbs, or simply whir them in the food processor.
*White candy melts are easily found at craft stores or baking supply stores.
*Decorator icing in squeeze packets can be found in your market’s baking aisle. You can certainly make your own royal icing, but I find that it’s easier to just purchase these for this recipe.
*You can also use cinnamon red hot candies for the pupils of the eye.
