Made these for a party and everyone loved them - especially me! Not only for the taste, but they are way cool for a Halloween party! Yes, they are sweet - but you only make them once a year, right!? My only complaint is that they are time consuming, but that was to be expected.

FlorenceIda the first line of the directions instructs you to combine 1 cup confectioners' sugar, peanut butter and butter in a small bowl. The remaining sugar is combined with water and food coloring to make the "bloodshot" look.

The only problem with the recipe is that it says confectioners' sugar, divided but it doesn't say into how much for each part. I assumed it was 1.5 cups for the eyeballs and 1/2 cup for icing.

White candy coating can be bought at any craft store in the food section, or in a grocery store in the baking section near the chocolate chips.I made these for my Murder Mystery Halloween Party Dinner, and they were a huge hit!I changed up the iris of the eye with peanut butter M&M's, using the chocolate, blue and green. I then used black frosting for the iris in the center of the M&M. They were great!!! Everyone loved them!

They were ok, but I could only eat one. I thought they were cute but way too sweet! For the white candy coating, I just used white bakers chocolate, you could probably also use white chocolate chips.

These were so easy to make and were a big hit at our family "October" potluck! The adults enjoyed them as much as the kids did and they were gone before we even ate dinner,

Going to make with the kids today... They will think they are so cool! For the white candy coating, just use almond bark from the baking aisle.... :)

I want to make these...I need a Brand name or more to go on besides "white candy coating"...I haven't a clue what to pick up at the store. Can't wait to make these. Could a large marshemllow be covered instead..some of the kids don't care for peanut butter?
