Ok my kids will be the first to tell you that once I get into the holiday season I start obsessing about things I can do, usually food related. Well last night I was seating at dinner with my kids and these EyeBall Suckers I got at the Dollar Store were staring at me. My crazy mind started turning as I was thinking how I could transform a christmas treat I make into an eyeball.
Well I got the kids involved and started putting out the square shaped pretzels. Then they placed a white chocolate disc on top. I placed the tray into a 250 degree oven for a few minutes, only until the discs melt slightly.
Then I added an eye color eyeball- ‘the M facing down’ into the chocolate.
Using my Frosting Doodles I added the veins and pupil.
What a fun treat to put out in a bowl or a cellophane bag and watch your guests dig into! And they will!
Cover the pretzel as you would with chocolate about 3/4 of the way. Place in the fridge to cool slightly.
Then dip them as normal into chocolate or white chocolate. I microwave the chocolate because the kids want to help but if you use a double boiler you will get a smoother consistency and overall product.
Add sprinkles if desired and place back into the Fridge. Place them upright in a low vase or glass as a centerpeice or place two of these in a Pretzel cellophane bag for a great teachers treat. I am wondering what is this years favorite!!

Could you post a picture of your Frosting Doodles. I looked on line and couldn’t find them to see what they look like. It just a gel in a tube? Does it harden?
I don’t think they make them any more but Wilton cookie frosting hardens. Good luck
Love the idea
Bet they’d be good dipped in peanut butter and then chocolate. Yum
Where did you get the white chocolate discs?
How cute! I love your Halloween cookies too! I researched cookie decorating all day today and made a Michaels craft store trip for the goods needed to make some cute Halloween cookies. Thanks so much for visiting my blog. Come back soon
