"Blood-Shot" Velvet Cake Eyeballs

the "blood" got a bit runny near the end lol

With Halloween quickly approaching, here's a fun and easy last minute treat you can prepare for any Halloween festivity. I used already made muffins, but you can certainly make your own cake if you prefer.

Thank you to Food Network for the inspiration!

Halloween Cake Eyeballs

Ingredients

• 3 cups red velvet muffin or cake crumbles
• 1/2 container cream cheese frosting
• 1/2 cup white chocolate
• several chocolate chips
• a few marshmallows
• red and blue food coloring

Cooking Directions

1. In a large bowl or food processor, combine cake crumbs and frosting until can easily be formed into balls.
2. Form balls delicately into desired size.
3. In a separate bowl, melt white chocolate and let cool slightly (be careful not to burn yourself!).
4. Roll/dip balls into white chocolate until fully coated.
5. Let sit on parchment paper or greased surface in the refrigerator until coating has solidified.
6. Using a bit of blue food coloring, mold into the marshmallow chunks until pale blue & sticky. Form small circular shape for the iris, should be bigger than chocolate chip. Place chocolate chip in center as pupil to complete eyes.
7. Using a toothpick and red food coloring, draw on red zig-zags for "blood-shot" look.
8. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

A Halloween DIY post coming up next! :)

BOO-DELICIOUS!

Halloween this year was very laid back. I loved looking out the window and seeing the little ones in their cute costumes...brought back great memories for sure. There weren't many trick-or-treaters that rang our doorbell this time around, which came as a surprise because it was the absolute perfect fall weather for a night like this. Could it be because Halloween falls on a Sunday this year and everyone just wants to chillax, watch some football, maybe watch some scary movies, bake cupcakes, and be lazy?? haha ;) Now we're left with all this candy....my will power will be tested these next few weeks for sure. I'm up for the challenge. I also used today as another excuse to play around with cupcakes and frosting haha. Not helping myself AT ALL :p

Speaking of which, my "Frankenstein" and "Casper the Friendly Ghost" Cupcakes may not have been scary...or accurately portrayed, but I sure had fun making and most especially eating them!
