Notes
- Store Monster Eyeballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For longer storage, freeze for up to 2-3 months, separating layers with parchment paper.
- Thaw frozen treats in the refrigerator overnight.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for better blending.
- Use a food processor for even cookie crumbs.
- Dipping with a fork helps control candy melt coverage.
- Do not skip the chilling step to help truffles hold their shape.
- Consider mini candy eyes or DIY chocolate eyes as alternatives.
- Experiment with flavored cream cheese or different sandwich cookies for variations.
