Re: Scary Eyeballs

This is very similar to a recipe I took to a Halloween party two years ago. Only difference is that I added a broken up Butterfinger to the recipe and used Butterfinger Dots for the irises. Didn't bring any home. Made a batch for churches Christmas bazaar; they didn't get out of the house. Another Halloween party coming up this year and I plan on taking them again.

There needs to be a football team snack on Halloween. I've just volunteered for it because of this.
