Bloodshot Eyeballs

BLOODSHOT EYEBALLS

2 cups confectioners’ sugar, divided
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
3 Tbsp. butter, softened
1/2 lb. white candy coating, coarsely chopped
24 brown Reese’s pieces or milk chocolate M&M’s
1 Tbsp. water
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. red food coloring

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup confectioners’ sugar, peanut butter and butter. Shape into 1 inch balls; place on a waxed paper-lined pan. Chill for 30 minutes or until firm. In a microwave, melt white candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip balls in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper. Immediately press a Reese’s candy onto the top of each eyeball for pupil. Let stand 30 minutes or until set. In a small bowl, combine the water, food coloring and remaining confectioners’ sugar. Transfer to a heavy-duty resealable plastic bag; cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe wavy lines downward from pupil, creating the look of bloodshot eyes. Store in an airtight container. Makes 2 dozen.
