Ingredients

12 lollipop sticks
12 large marshmallows
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
1 tablespoon shortening
Styrofoam block
24 candy eyeballs

I've worked with melted chocolate a little bit before and did not do well with it. But these were so easy, and looked just like the picture when I was done! And that never happens for me! Also, the kids LOVED them!
