For the Eyeball Base

  • 1/2 cup edible eyes (optional) For added decoration.
  • 1 cup crushed cookies or crumbs To create the eye socket base.
  • candy corn For additional decoration.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a bowl, mix the crushed cookies or crumbs with a bit of melted chocolate sauce to create a moldable base.

Assembly

  2. Place a large marshmallow on top of each ice cream scoop and ensure they stick well.
Decoration
  1. Drizzle chocolate sauce over each eyeball to create the illusion of veins or creepy details.

Serving

Notes

For intricate shapes, consider using silicone molds. Feel free to experiment with different ice cream flavors and different candies for decoration. Keep the eyeballs chilled before serving to ensure they maintain their shape.
