Monster Eyes
Serve these spooky eyes as a sweet Halloween treat!
1 1/2 cups all natural creamy peanut butter or sun butter
16 ounces superfine sugar or 1/2 tsp stevia
2 ounces pecan flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 ounces semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate, or chocolate of your choice
3 ounces mini m&m's or dried blueberries
Using a stand mixer or a food processor, combine the peanut butter, sugar and vanilla. Mix well, chill until easy to handle. If you opt to use stevia instead of sugar, increase the pecan flour to 3-4 ounces.
Using a #100 ice cream scoop (disher) or method of your choice, measure out approximately 1 teaspoon of peanut butter dough. Roll into a ball, place on a wax or parchment paper lined baking sheet and freeze for an hour or until firm. It's much, much easier to use a scoop than to do it by hand as the "dough" is very soft.
Melt chocolate in a double boiler. Take peanut balls and dip in chocolate, leaving an opening for the cornea. Return to refrigerator on lined baking sheet with the cornea-side up, freeze until firm.
Place a mini m&m into opening, this becomes the iris. Serve your spooky monster eyeballs frozen (and freeze any leftovers).
