Where’d You Get Those Googly Eyes?
Want to serve a scary, but healthy, meal either before or after trick-or-treat adventures in your neighborhood? After all, it would be nice if there was something on the menu for the night other than all the candy you can eat. Want to serve something tasty and unusual on your buffet at your adult Halloween party? Absolutely!
These creepy deviled eyes that Trisha created will make the kids squeal with terrorized delight. Adults will cringe with feigned revulsion. Both will be intrigued with how real they look, and surprised that they are actually being tricked into eating a healthy treat.
Granted, making these is a bit of a chore. But if you are a host or hostess that takes pride in serving up the very best in scary food at the annual Halloween bash, then making these will be worth the effort. If you don’t currently have such a scarily sterling reputation for parties, you will have earned one after serving these wide and realistically staring eyes.
These bloodshot ocular orbs look very realistic with blue-colored irises, but you should probably throw a few green and brown ones into the mix. You wouldn’t want anyone to think you were discriminating against the other colors. Or that there was a thief out targeting blue-eyed people and gouging their eyes out to serve up on their buffet.

Quick Tip: Hard Cooking Eggs 101 – Start with eggs that are just past fresh, as they will peel more easily. Put eggs in a pot, cover with cold water (about an inch over the tops of the eggs), bring water to a full rolling boil and immediately take the pan off the heat and cover it. Start timing the cooking now, allowing 9 minutes for medium and 12 minutes for large eggs. When the time elapses, place eggs in a big bowl of cold water (you can add some ice to this), stopping the cooking process and cooling the eggs. Once at room temperature, remove eggs and retain the now room-temperature water. If eggs cool past room temperature, they will be harder to peel. Roll egg under your hand on the counter top to crack the shell all over the egg, submerge it in the bowl of room-temperature water and begin to peel. Or you can peel them under running water to help remove the shell without damaging the egg itself.
