Mozzarella Pearl Eyeballs - Mozzarella pearls are available in most large supermarkets, and their ready-made ball shape makes them the perfect instant edible eyeball! Dot with edible marker or add a tiny circle of cucumber skin to turn them into eyeballs. Add to savoury dishes such as soup or pasta or serve up in a bowl along with cherry tomatoes to make an instant and gory caprese salad for a Halloween party. For details of my eyeball soup below see the original blog post here, and for the eyeball pasta see my original blog post here. You first make a royal icing by whisking egg white and icing sugar really well with a hand mixer. It should be whipped until they form soft peaks and become a little chewy. Then you can adjust the consistency with a little water so that it becomes so soft that it can be piped out and make a smooth hemisphere without making peaks on the surface. Starch – Cornstarch (corn flour in the UK) is cheap and accessible. I’ve also made these with tapioca starch. Tapioca is a great option if you’d like a grain free option. Cheddar Cheese Eyes - One of the most simple ways to add edible eyes to a sandwich or other savoury food is to cut ovals or circles from cheddar cheese (or other hard cheese) using mini bento cutters and dot them with food colouring or an edible marker pen.

Sweet (Candy) Eyes - At this time of year it's easy to find fun eyeball shaped sweets - I found the jelly eyes below in our pound shop, and I've also seen lots of chocolate eyeballs around. With a bit of imagination you can find eyes in other sweets too, from fried eggs, dolly mixtures and smarties to chocolate buttons and flying saucers - anything round would work! The eyes can be dried at room temperature for 24 hours or in the oven at low temperature in an hour or so. Caramel syrup: I used normal ice cream caramel syrup, but you can use whatever type of caramel sauce you might have on hand. Halloween-themed Candy: Hershey’s tombstone chocolate bars and Reese’s pumpkins and ghosts add extra Halloween spirit to the bark. Seasonal candy sprinkles and Halloween novelty items like edible bones and candy corn also add some festive fun. Using a teaspoon, fill your squeezy bottle with icing. Squeezing gently, carefully drop the icing in rows onto the prepared baking trays, taking care to leave a gap between each drop so that they don't run together. I had a few run into each other, so after that increased the distance between them slightly. This may take a bit of trial and error, but don't worry too much about getting them all a uniform size, I deliberately tried various sizes out, even making a few jumbo ones when I got bored! I thought it would be great to have a range of sizes, it adds to the charm! Refill the bottle with icing when necessary.

Ingredients A double boiler uses a small amount of water in a small saucepan/pot, with a larger glass or metal bowl on top. The boiling water will heat up the bowl slowly, so that chocolate can be easily melted in the top bowl, with no danger of burning. It’s the easiest way to melt chocolate, especially for those of us that struggle to melt chocolate in the microwave. Vanilla or Almond Extract (optional)– These are simply optional flavours to make the eyes taste a little more interesting.

Powder Sugar (Icing Sugar)– This makes up the bulk of the google eyes. If your sugar is lumpy, sift out the lumps before mixing to ensure you end up with a smooth icing. The chocolate will start melting relatively fast once it’s at room temperature. Place it on cold plates, or make sure it is in a relatively cool place, as you are serving.
