Tips and variations for making these no-bake peanut butter eyeballs Halloween treats:
● If the peanut butter mixture is too soft to roll, pop it in the fridge and let it harden a little before handling it.
● If the peanut butter is sticking to your fingers, powder your hands with confectioners’ sugar (icing or powdered sugar for my Australian and UK friends).
● If you do not have coconut oil, you can substitute vegetable shortening in equal amounts.
● Rice Krispie cereal was used in making this recipe, but you can use any puffed rice cereal.
● Wilton Edible Blood Red Glaze was used in this recipe, but you any edible blood.
● If you can find store-bought glaze, you can make your own. Just add red food coloring to CLEAR corn syrup.
● You can line your baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper if you like.
● An electric mixer is not necessary for this recipe, although you may find it easier to make using one. Honestly? While I have never done it, I expect a food processor could be used, too. Just make sure to scrape the side of the bowl if using an appliance and not hand mixing.
● Store these peanut butter eyeballs in a resealable plastic bag in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Some might suggest an airtight container, and that could work, too.
● You can freeze the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls BEFORE you add the blood glaze and candy eyeball. Place the naked peanut butter balls in an airtight container and freeze them for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge. Once thawed, you can add the blood glaze and push the candy eyeball into the glaze. I do this because the blood with thin out if frozen, and the eyeball decorations will bleed when they thaw out.
● This recipe is made with simple ingredients commonly found at your local grocery store.
