Bones and eyeballs - a Halloween treat!

I've seen a lot of cool Halloween stuff going around the foodie blogosphere.

Here is my contribution on this spooky, delicious holiday!

Bones
Servings: 12 bones
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 45 min

24 regular marshmallows
6 pretzel rod sticks
1 package white chocolate almond bark

Carefully break the pretzel rods in half. Squeeze a marshmallow and poke through one end of the pretzel. Repeat on the other side. Assemble all your marshmallow/pretzel sticks before proceeding with the chocolate.

Break the almond bark into chunks and place in a wide microwavable container. Microwave on 50% power or defrost for 90 seconds. Stir. Keep microwaving at 50% power or defrost for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until it is completely liquid.

Dip the pretzel/marshmallow sticks in the melted white chocolate and cover completely. Using a pair of tongs, lift them out carefully and shake off the excess. Place them on a flat surface lined with wax paper.

You can leave them out or put them in the fridge to set for at least 30 minutes. Then, eat!

Eyeballs
Servings: 16 eyeballs
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 10 min
Total time: 1 hour

8-10 pretzel rods, crumbled
1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
2 tbsp condensed milk (if using almond butter, otherwise skip)
16 gummy lifesaver candies
16 reese's pieces or M&M's

Mix the crumbled pretzels, almond butter and condensed milk to form a thick paste. Separate into 16 parts and roll into balls. Let them set in the fridge for about 10-30 minutes.

When the balls have hardened a bit, melt the white chocolate the same way described above. Touch a drop of white chocolate on the open hole of each lifesaver and place a reese's pieces candy on top. This will glue it together to avoid the pupil from falling off :)

Roll the balls in the melted chocolate until completely covered. Remove carefully with a set of tongs and set on waxed paper. Press the lifesaver on top. Place in the fridge for the white chocolate to harden for at least 30 minutes.

And that's it!! These are surprisingly delicious and look very cool too!
