Skewered Eyeballs

My kids have been talking about what they want to be for Halloween for the last few weeks.  I’m not sure how it is in your house, but they tend to change their minds a bit.  All I know is that I want to be more creative this year with the Halloween season and surprise them with little tricks and treats along the way!

Having little kids at home I love quick and easy treats that truly surprise and excite them.  These Skewered Eyeballs are just the trick!  They are just the right amount of gross, but still taste great.  Last year I made my very own Googly Candy Eyes  and I try to find every excuse to use them.  Once you find out how simple and inexpensive they are to make, you won’t ever buy them again!

I had these on a platter, but how fun would it be if you put them into a vase or stuck them into a pumpkin?!  How ever you serve them, you cannot serve them without the “blood” sauce a.k.a. strawberry sauce.  Dipping them into this sauce just brings them to a whole new level of yummy edible goriness!  

Don’t they just look so cool?  You could also just have a plate of single eyeballs.  The best part is they are possibly the most simple thing to put together!  You’ll completely wow your family and friends.
