DEVIL’S EYES (EYEBALLS)
• Hard boil eggs
• Peel cooled eggs
• Cut hard boiled eggs in half, lengthwise
• Remove the yolks; devil the yolks by mixing with mustard, mayonnaise, salt and pepper
• Fill egg halves with the deviled mixture and level off the filling
• Place the eggs, deviled-yolk side down on plate (shred cabbage or use lettuce leaves underneath yolks, if desired for appearance)
• Put piping gel in a pastry tube (or make a tube from parchment paper) or use the gel sold at the supermarket in little tubes (easiest)
• Form a large circle of gel to make iris of eye
• Dot the center of the colored “iris” with a black dot for the pupil of the eye
• Squiggle gel lines to make veins for bloodshot effect
• eat…yuk
CHOCOLATE MARSHMALLOW SPIDERS
To make 2 dozen spiders you’ll need:
8 ounces, semisweet chocolate (8 squares, baking variety)
2 cups, (plus extra for “eyes”) miniature marshmallows
black or red string licorice (for legs)
assorted candies (for “eyeballs)
Melt the chocolate gently – just until you can stir it smooth. Stir in the marshmallows until they’re all completely coated with chocolate.
Drop the mixture by spoonsful onto a wax-paper lined tray (this makes the lumpy bodies of the spiders). Add strands of string licorice to make spider “legs.”
Use additional mini marshmallows (whole or cut in half crosswise) for eyes: stick them on with more melted chocolate, or butter (or use frosting if the chocolate on the bodies has cooled too much to hold the “eyes” in place) - adding candies in center of each for eyeballs. Refrigerate until all the chocolate parts are firm. Gross!
