PRESENTATION

Realistic detail makes edible eyeballs a hit for any Halloween spread, especially when bright white lychees and dark blueberries combine for that true creepy look. Set out a tray of these unforgettable Halloween snacks and just watch reactions—kids stare, adults try to guess what's inside, everyone comes back for seconds. The soft, juicy bite of each one catches folks off guard (in a fun way). The bloody effect around the rims always looks awesome, especially under party lights or surrounded by other spooky appetizers. You can even float them in a punch bowl for some instant Halloween drink fun—their unnerving stare gets people talking. For family-friendly parties or a classroom treat, these spooky treats are often the first thing gone, since their appearance is spot-on for Halloween party food but the flavor is fruity and approachable for everyone, even the littlest party guests.

Weeknights or weekends, busy families choose these bloody eyes for every type of gathering—they work well for school parties or last-minute Halloween get-togethers that need something extra. Nice and sweet, delicious, and always a bit weird in the best way, they handle center stage or work next to bowls of snacks, cups of punch, or any Halloween drinks you’re serving. Since the look is half the fun, you don’t need fancy spooky decorations—people love just seeing a bowl of these as the main Halloween treat, especially when they pair so well with lychee recipes, blueberry treats, and other weird Halloween party snacks. With great visual appeal and tons of ways to serve (float in drinks, stack on plates, add to snack spreads), these fun bites always earn loud kid approval and definite grown-up grins. Serve ‘em solo or as a spooky topper—the shock value and playful vibe bring energy and laughter fast, every single time. Great for getting creative with Halloween foods, impressing guests with a unique dish, or just making family snack time extra memorable… these bloody eyes bring together all the fun of holiday parties with every sweet, juicy bite.

Preparation

How to prepare Bloody Eyes

To prepare the bloody eyes, start by mixing the ricotta with the crushed cookies in a bowl 1, add 50 g of white chocolate that you have melted in a double boiler (or in the microwave) and cooled slightly. Stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to mix all the ingredients well. With this mixture, form balls with a diameter of about 1 1/4 inches, slightly flattened 2, and place them on a tray covered with parchment paper, put in the freezer for 15 minutes to set and harden. In the meantime, melt the remaining white chocolate in a double boiler 3 (or microwave) until it is fluid enough to be used as a coating.

Let it cool slightly before dipping the eyeballs with a fork 4. Move the fork to remove excess chocolate and place the eyeballs on the parchment paper 5, immediately place a colored chocolate candy on top of each eyeball 6 (as if it were the iris of the eye). Place in the refrigerator for about 10/15 minutes to harden the white chocolate. When the white chocolate is completely hardened, remove the drips at the base using a sharp knife.

With the melted dark chocolate, create the pupil on top of each chocolate candy using a piping bag or a toothpick 7. Finally, prepare the red royal icing to create the eye veins: whip the egg white in a stand mixer until it's white, then add the sifted powdered sugar, finally add enough red food coloring to achieve a nice intense red 8. Place the icing in a piping bag with a small tip opening and create the red veins around the eye, starting from the base of the eye and drawing irregular veins towards the pupil 9.
Enjoy the bloody eyes immediately or store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve!
