Agree with previous comments about chocolate hardening rapidly once extract was added - would omit adding it in the future. When it says to IMMEDIATELY add the chocolate chip eyes, it means RIGHT AWAY. I dipped a few, then went back to add the eyes and they were already hardened. It was a fine balance between keeping my white chocolate stirred / smooth / not hardened and getting the eyes on quickly enough - having a helping hand would make it easier. Adding the mouths with the toothpick provided a bit tricky - agree that piping might be easier. Overall, very cute - served this recipe for a book club with a spooky themed book and everyone thought they were adorable.
Even though mine didn't look exactly as nice as the picture (haha), they were cute and tasty. The crowd I was with loved them!
Disappointing. Thought this would have been a fun little halloween experience for me and my 12 year old twin girls to do together, however after following the recipe exactly, they turned out awful.
These were a real crowd pleaser! Easy and delicious!
a nice treat for Halloween. I would rather pipe tip the mouths on though, faster and easier than using a toothpick!
These were so cute! I also had a problem with the chocolate seizing when I added the extract. They were really yummy even without the almond, though, and that's how I would do it again.
Super up to the point of finishing the "look" in the picture. What was used (I assume sprinkles) for the red hair and what was used for the green hair????
day 26 the dates we had all day loaneveryone loved them!everyone loves them!
This is my favorite recipe EVER!! Seriously, I love holidays and am always looking for cute ideas for parties. I used these for Halloween this year and everyone LOVED them!! So easy and cute and my gluten-free daughter could eat them, too! I cheated a little and used little candy eyeballs from Michael's and then drew mouths. Absolutely awesome!! Everyone at my office still asks for them and it's no longer Halloween...
