These spooky peanut butter eyeballs are a fun, no-bake treat perfect for Halloween parties. Sweet, creamy and creepy, they’ll impress every little goblin and ghoul!
Ingredients:
1 cup creamy peanut butter
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
2-2 ½ cups confectioners’ sugar
1 (12 oz.) white chocolate chips
2 T. coconut oil
2 tubes red decorating gel
1 tube green decorating icing
1 tube white writing gel
36 brown M&Ms
1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.
2. Using a handheld mixer, stir peanut butter and butter in a medium bowl until smooth. Gradually fold in confectioners’ sugar until thick, smooth and well-combined. Shape the mixture into 36 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until firm.
3. Meanwhile, melt white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a double boiler until smooth. Carefully drop the chilled peanut butter balls into the chocolate to coat, then scoop them out with a fork, letting the excess drip off through the tines. Return the balls to the waxed-paper-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate until set.
4. With scissors, snip off the end of each tube of decorating gel. Pipe the red gel from the center down over the eyeballs for veins. Squeeze one ‘dot’ of green decorating icing on top of the eyeball, over the red icing. Place an M&M on the green icing. Squeeze one white dot on top of the M&M.
5. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Peanut butter eyeballs coated in white chocolate bring spooky, sweet fun to every Halloween celebration.
