For Halloween, I got it into my head (no pun intended) to make candy eyeballs. Then I decided I make filled ones, which then became bloody filled eyeballs because, well, Halloween.
I used a silicone cake pop mold and candy melts because I wanted really white eyeballs but white chocolate would work, too. The steps are basically the same as for regular candy making-melt, pour, let set. For the pupils, I piped in the black and let that set, then orange and let that set and finally white.
For the fillings, I wanted something red and runny. I decided to use strawberry jam and caramel. to which I added red food coloring.
I then used an offset spatula I warmed over the stove to slightly melt the edges so the two halves would stick together. It also helped smooth out any weird edges.I liked the jam ones better because the slight tartness of the jam balanced the sweet shell. I'm thinking salted caramel might be a better option if I decide to go that route again.
