I left mine on the kitchen counter overnight. Gently press a mini chocolate chip upside down into the center of each Cheerio (you want the flat bottom of the chocolate chip to show). Allow the Cheerios to dry in a cool, non-humid location. Place the Cheerios on a parchment paper lined tray.Dip plain Cheerios into the white chocolate and use a toothpick to fully cover.Heat and stir until the white chocolate is nearly melted then stir, stir, stir until completely smooth. Microwave the white chocolate at 15 second intervals stirring well between each heating.

They are cute, but bad for you… and basically as yummy as sucking on a sugar cube. The only thing I don’t love about candy eyes? All the versions I have seen for sale are made out of refined sugar and artificial color. Even fruit looks ready to take on any holiday party with candy eyes! What I Don’t Love I love the adorable look that candy eyes can give to any treat from cupcakes to granola clusters. Have you seen all the adorable candy eyes taking over the internet? Okay, okay the candy eyes are not literally floating around online but they are showing up all over recipes and treats on Pinterest and Instagram. They’re adorable and make a great addition to Halloween treats.

If you’ve never indulged in ‘cake decorating’ before I can tell you it’s much simpler that you might think – this was actually my first ever attempt at icing anything…. The painting element of this is very fun indeed and doesn’t require a particularly artistic skillset (I can vouch for that). Deliciously terrifying.Īdd a slick of ready to roll white icing around the outside, a miniature iris and pupil and the occasional red painted blood vessel and you’ve got yourself a frightful looking party snack. I couldn’t create such a horrifying-looking treat without a little surprise, so as you bite into them they’ve got a pop of raspberry jam in the middle. They’re no bake (winner) and a deliciously gooey combination of caramelly dates, rich cacao and moreish almond butter. In cake-debrief conversations with Ma (aka the real brains behind this blog) a plan was hatched for a cake with a firm enough structure to support a large spherical shape so watch this space for a large, extra grisly version of these snack-sized eyeballs hopefully coming up soon. The original plan had been for one big eyeball that oozed a suspicious looking (yet tasty) liquid from it’s centre and had sticky, jam covered nerves attached the back of it but after a number of cake attempts and dwindling time I opted for a miniature version instead. I hadn’t been asked to bring along spine-tingling treats but inspiration often comes out of nowhere. These little gems came about after an invite to a friend’s Halloween party in those blissful pre-COVID days. Who knew making and decorating gruesome eyeball-shaped snacks could be so therapeutic? Well these were a rather glorious creation. These vegan halloween treats are horrifyingly decorated and too tasty to resist!
