“EYE’M Watching You” Chocolate Dipped Cherries
Prep time: 45 min
Yields: Approx. 30
Ingredients:
- 1 jar of maraschino cherries
- ½ lb of white melting chocolate wafers
- 1 packet of mini flat candy eyeballs
- Red food dye
Supplies:
- Paper towels
- Toothpick
- Double boiler
- If you do not have a double boiler, no worries! All you will need is a small pot for the bottom, and a heat resistant bowl to fit over the top of the pot
Directions:
- Take cherries out of jar and pat dry with a paper towel. Place cherries on a sheet and stick them in the freezer while chocolate is melting.
- To melt the chocolate, fill bottom of the double boiler (or pot) with water. Fill top of the double boiler (or bowl) with your white chocolate wafers. Use a low set flame on the stove-top and stir until the white chocolate is fully melted.
- Note: do not boil the water beforehand!
- Remove cherries from the freezer. Use the cherry stem to dip cherries into the white chocolate. Once all cherries are dipped, place them back in the freezer for a couple minutes to harden.
- While the cherries are hardening, add about 8 drops of red food dye to your white chocolate.
- Take cherries out of the freezer and gently pull stem off the cherries, this will be the center of the eyeball.
- Use toothpick to paint bloodshot veins in the center of the eyeball. Top the center off with a flat candy eyeball. If needed, place finished eyeballs in the freezer to harden for a couple minutes one last time.
- Arrange your spooky eyeballs on a platter or in a bowl. Serve to all your ghouls and goblins for a fun and tasty Halloween party treat!
