Eye Ball, Anyone?

Halloween Treat
Its almost time for halloween! That means bags and bags of candy for everyone! Sweet treats are always the best ones. But no one knows how to serve a real treat on halloween except...for me. I have been having halloween parties for a long time. It is very fun to plan all the spooky things that will go on through out the evning. But I have always had a favorite party of planning. For some reason the part is always the last step. Picking out what delightful dssert will be served to our guest that night. I make sure this is a very unniqe and yummy treat. Not the 2 moth old chocolate cake you found in your fridge. It needs to be a spooky and nice looking treat that guest will be amazed by.


Eye Ball Anyone?
Here are the easy steps on how to make one of my favorite Halloween treats! This particular dessert is name Eyeball Ice cream! All you need to make this "EYE catching" ice cream is. A bowl, M&M's and GEL. The first step to making this is to get a bowl and put ONLY one scoop of ice cream in it. Then you take your choice of M&M color  and drop it rite in the middle! Lastly you take the GEL, and make sqiqqly lines representing the veins. Make the lines coming outward from the M&M.)
