These peanut butter eyeballs combine a sweet peanut butter dough with a chocolate coating and gummy candy eyes. They're easy to make with just a few ingredients and are sure to be a hit at any Halloween gathering. Chill, dip, and decorate for a fun, festive snack.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. In a bowl, stir together the melted butter, creamy peanut butter, and powdered sugar until fully combined. Using your hands works best; the mixture should have a stiff, play-dough-like texture.
  2. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
  3. Scoop slightly rounded tablespoons of the peanut butter dough, roll each into a ball, and place on the lined sheet.
  4. Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for about 15 minutes until they are chilled.
  5. While they chill, melt the chocolate. Put it in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each interval.
  6. Once the balls are firm and the chocolate is smooth, pour the melted chocolate into a small cup or jar. Use a toothpick to dip each ball into the chocolate, but do not submerge it fully—leave a small circle at the top uncovered.
  7. Return each coated ball to the parchment-lined sheet. Repeat for all balls.
  8. Add a tiny dab of melted chocolate onto the back of a candy eyeball, then press it onto the top of each peanut butter ball.
  9. Let the eyeballs set completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
