Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Large marshmallows
- 1 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Candy melts (red)
- 0.25 cup Candy melts (blue or green)
- 12 pieces Mini chocolate chips
- 12 pieces Small round candy (e.g., Smarties or M&M's)
- 12 pieces Toothpicks
Instructions
Insert a toothpick into the center of each marshmallow to create a handle for dipping.
Melt the white chocolate chips using a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
Dip each marshmallow into the melted white chocolate, ensuring the entire surface is coated. Allow any excess to drip off before placing the marshmallows onto a sheet of wax paper to cool and harden.
Once the white chocolate coating has set, melt the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl following the same process as the white chocolate. Pour the melted red candy into a piping bag with a small tip or use a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped off.
Carefully pipe 'veins' onto the marshmallows to mimic the blood vessels of an eye. Allow the veins to set completely.
Melt the blue or green candy melts using the same method. Place a small dollop of the colored candy onto the center of each marshmallow to create the iris.
Place a small round candy (e.g., Smartie or M&M) on top of the colored candy melt while it is still warm to form the pupil. Press gently to ensure it sticks.
Finish the eyeball by pressing a mini chocolate chip in the center of the round candy, pointy side down, to add depth to the 'pupil.'
Allow the Cyclops Eyeballs to cool and fully set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for quicker results.
Serve and watch your guests squirm with delight at these eerie, edible Cyclops Eyeballs!
