Ingredients:
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
– 3-4 cups powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1 package of Oreos
– Red food coloring
– Blue food coloring
– Green food coloring
Instructions:
1. With an electric mixer, beat the peanut butter and butter together in a large bowl until smooth and creamy.
2. Gradually mix in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until the mixture becomes stiff. Add in the vanilla extract and mix until well-combined.
3. Use your hands to form small balls with the peanut butter mixture (about the size of a cherry).
4. Take an Oreo cookie and use a sharp knife to carefully scrape off the white filling. Place the peanut butter ball on top of the cookie, pressing down gently to attach it. Repeat this process with all of the peanut butter balls.
5. Next, it’s time to make the eyes! In three separate saucers, mix a few drops of red food coloring with a small amount of water, blue food coloring with water, and green food coloring with water. Stir each mixture well.
6. Using a toothpick or small paintbrush, carefully paint the peanut butter balls with the colored mixture of your choice. You can make them all the same color or mix and match to create a variety of eye colors. Use a small amount of black food coloring to make the pupil of the eye.
7. Once you’ve painted all the eyes, pop them in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes or until the peanut butter mixture has hardened.
8. Serve the Halloween eyes on a platter for a spooky treat that’s sure to impress!
These Halloween eyes are a fun and easy treat to make for your Halloween party, or just to enjoy with your family at home. You can get creative and come up with your own eye colors and designs, or stick to the classic red, blue, and green. Either way, these eyes are a deliciously creepy addition to any Halloween celebration. Happy Halloween!
