Instructions

Prepare the Chocolate Mixture

Chop the chocolate into small pieces and place it in a bowl.

Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let it sit for a couple of minutes. Stir until smooth, then mix in the vanilla extract.

Shape the Truffles

Once the mixture has cooled slightly, cover and refrigerate until firm (about 1 hour). Once firm, use a melon baller or your hands to form small balls.

Add Eyeball Details

Use food coloring to tint the truffles as desired. Place a gummy candy in the center of each truffle to create an eyeball effect. You can use candy melts to add more details if desired.

Chill and Serve

Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes before serving. Enjoy your spooky treats!

Serve these eerie delights at your Halloween gathering!

Storage Tips

To ensure your Spooky Eyeball Truffles stay fresh and delicious, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This will help maintain their firmness and creamy texture while keeping unwanted odors at bay.

If you plan to make them a few days ahead of time, they can typically last for about a week in the fridge. However, don’t be surprised if they are devoured quickly—these truffles are hard to resist!

Variations to Try

While the classic spooky eyeball design is a hit, feel free to get creative with different shapes and themes. Consider making pumpkin-shaped truffles for a charming twist on the original Halloween favorite, using orange-tinted chocolate and green candy melts for the stem.

Alternatively, you could create a variety of spooky characters, like ghosts or monsters, using similar techniques. This not only elevates the fun but also impresses your guests with a stunning display of Halloween creativity.
