Eye Love Halloween

There are countless great things about Halloween.  Creating original costumes, replicating favorite super heroes, carving pumpkins, eating lots' of junk food.  I love it all.  Here is a quick treat and template to make and decorate some very creepy Halloween Eyeball Cookies.  They are perfect to share with the kids and adults for any Halloween celebration.

My eyeball cookies partly belong to Pillsbury.  After all, the dough did come from a box, Pillsbury Sugar Cookie Mix.  But, who am I kidding acting as if it's a bad thing.  Pillsbury dough and mixes are wonderful and when I am in a pinch for time it is my go to baking brand. 

Step 1:  Bake cookies and let cool

Step 2:  Create foil template for red dye veins, template below

Step 3:  Use stencil for veins on all cookies 

Step 4:  Use green icing to pipe circles in center of each cookie

Step 5:  Place candy eyeball in center of each green icing circle

Step 6:  EAT!

Here is what you need...oh, and aluminum foil and a pencil too!

Rice Crispie Watermelon Slices

I love Rice Krispie treats and I also love watermelon.  I first saw a version of this from Teen Vogue on Instagram, and shortly after saw another version on cookingclassy.com, one of my favorite food blogs.

Here is my version, pretty much the same as Cooking Classy, but with a cute touch of bakers string and twine for the win.   These are not difficult to make, a little sticky, and adorable.  I am pretty sure all kids and people will like these!  Click source link below for original recipe.  xo RCN
