I like it when Halloween treats are easy to make and is a hoot to serve. Monster Eyeballs fits the bill!
To make Monster Eyeballs, get some small donuts covered with white powdered sugar. Then get some gummy circles. (They come in green, red, orange and red, and yellow — and probably even more colors!)
Place one gummy ring on top of the small donut. Cut up a piece of black licorice and stick it through the hole in the gummy circle and the donut. It will be the eye’s iris — and it will hold the gummy ring on the donut.
See. I told you they were simple. The hardest part is to refrain from eating all of the black licorice!
In addition to eating eyeballs, you need to nibble on a finger or two. Have fun making and eating these Witchy Fingers.
Witchy Fingers
Make a batch of your favorite sugar cookie dough. (See mine here.)
Roll out a small amount of dough until it’s thin like a pencil. Cut lines for the knuckles and press an almond slice on one end to make the fingernail.
Bake for 10-12 minutes.After you take them out of the oven, dust around the almond and the knuckles with cocoa powder.
Chocolate Spider Legs
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 cup REESE’S Peanut Butter Chips
1 tablespoon shortening (do not use butter, margarine, spread or oil)
1-1/2 cups (3-oz. can) chow mein noodles, coarsely broken
Place milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and shortening in medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir until chips are melted and mixture is smooth.
Dump in chow mein noodles. Stir to coat. Drop by teaspoons on waxed paper. Yields about 2 dozen clumps of chocolatey spider legs.
I hope you have fun making these creepy Halloween treats!

Exploring Halloween recipes with Ibérico ham adds a deliciously spooky twist to traditional dishes. Its savory richness enhances the flavors of seasonal treats, making every bite a hauntingly delightful experience.
I love the eyeballs! Just three ingredients and a snap to do. This grandma isn’t into spending hours creating complicated treats.
Susan, you’re a grandmother after my own heart — not wanting to spend hours creating complicated treats! I’d rather spend the time playing with the grandkids.
