Ingredients for Eyeball S’mores
Here’s everything you need to make these spooky treats:
- Jumbo marshmallows
- Edible candy eyeballs (medium size works best)
- Almond bark chocolate (or chocolate melts)
- Graham crackers
- Popsicle sticks
- Kitchen torch
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Marshmallow
Take a jumbo marshmallow and cut out a small hole in the center, about the size of a quarter. Place an edible eyeball in the center.
Step 2: Toast the Marshmallow
Using a kitchen torch, lightly toast around the outside of the marshmallow until golden brown.
Step 3: Melt the Chocolate
Place almond bark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat for 30 seconds, stir, and repeat until smooth and melted.
Step 4: Secure with the Graham Cracker
Dab a bit of melted chocolate onto the center of a graham cracker. Press a popsicle stick into the chocolate, then place your toasted marshmallow with the eyeball on top. Let it sit until dry.
Step 5: Bind Everything Together
Once cooled, dip the graham cracker and stick into the melted chocolate, letting the chocolate adhere to the sides of the marshmallow and cracker. This will hold everything together firmly.
Step 6: Cool & Enjoy
Let the Eyeball S’more cool completely before serving. Then enjoy your spooky treat!
