Halloween Eyeball Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1/2 cup butter, softened
    1 1/2 cups peanut butter
    2 cups powdered sugar
    1 tablespoon vanilla
    12 ounces white dipping chocolate
    1/2 cup mini chocolate chip
    blue food coloring
Preparation
    Cream the butter and peanut butter together.
    Beat in the vanilla and sugar.
    Chill for 1/2 hour.
    Roll into small balls, chill on wax paper for another 1/2 hour.
    In a microwave, melt the white dipping chocolate.
    Using two spoons dip the eyeballs into the white chocolate.
    Let cool on waxed paper until firm. Chilling will speed up the process.
    Pour a drop or two of blue food coloring into the remaining melted chocolate.
    Make a round iris on the eyeball, and immediately press a miniature chocolate chip in the center for a pupil, doing 5 at at time.
    For the bloodshot effect, dip the tiny end of a toothpick in red food colouring and squiggle the lines from the pupil outward, but not quite to the edges of the ball.
    These are quite tasty--considering how creepy they are.
    Note: White dipping chocolate is also known as white bark.
