Create these fun and spooky peanut butter eyeballs for your next Halloween party. They're easy to make and a hit with both kids and adults.
Combine the confectioners' sugar, creamy peanut butter, and unsalted butter in a mixing bowl.
Mix until the ingredients are well combined and form a smooth dough-like consistency.
Shape the mixture into small balls and place them on a wax paper-lined tray.
Use a small cookie scoop to ensure uniform sizes.
Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm.
Chilling helps the balls hold their shape during the coating process.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth.
Microwave in short intervals to prevent overheating the chocolate.
Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate and place back on the wax paper.
Use a fork to lift the balls out of the chocolate for an even coating.
Press a small round candy onto the top of each coated ball to create the pupil.
Do this quickly before the chocolate sets.
Mix red food coloring with a small amount of water and use a resealable plastic bag with a small cut corner to pipe veins onto the eyeballs.
Practice piping on a piece of wax paper first to get the hang of it.
Let the eyeballs set completely before serving.
Place them in the refrigerator to speed up the setting process.
