![]() ![]() Have a great weekend! EYE will SEE you in a few days with another Halloween recipe! (Sorry, sorry…I’m done now. If you really want to get realistic, there are some very cute “scientific” shot glass sets available online, like these laboratory shot glasses, these beaker shot glasses, and these Erlenmeyer flask shot glasses. A half-dozen bites, and then you’re on to the next treat! You can definitely make them larger, but I don’t know many adults who want a large bowl of Jell-o, so I kept mine petite. I used regular shot glasses, which made them the perfect serving size for a party dessert. (Ask me how I know.)

These little desserts couldn’t be easier. They’re just so…wait for it… eye-catching! (groan) How often do you see eyeballs suspended in anything, much less dessert? That is what our lives have been missing, I think. They may be simple, but these are still some of my favorite Halloween treats I’ve made this season.
