I am not obsessed with eyeballs

But I had to share one more! I know. Ewww. Gross. But it was a really good idea!


This one came from Not Quite Nigella. White fondant, red icing (buy the already made stuff in the little tube! Red icing is too much of a pain to make!!) and use a gummy lifesaver and a dab of black icing (again, get the premade stuff! The only thing harder than black icing is red icing!!) in the middle! Easy. Gross. Perfect for Halloween!

If you want it quick and easy, but the already made fondant. If you want it to be YUMMY make your own marshmallow fondant. (It taste like a circus peanut!)

You need:
16 oz mini-marshmallows
2-5 T water
2 lbs powdered sugar
½ c shortening (or more! Just keep the shortening out!!)

Put the marshmallows and 2 T of water in a microwave safe bowl. Nuke it for 30 seconds, stir, nuke it for 30 seconds more, stir, continue until it is melted. Dump 3/4 of the powdered sugar into the bowl. Then grease your ENTIRE work space with the shortening. Then grease your hands with shortening. Dump out the marshmallow/sugar mixture and kneed it like you would bread dough. You will know when it is done. It will look like this



Then coat the ball with shortening, wrap it in plastic wrap, put it in a Ziploc bag (squish all the air out) and put it in the fridge over night. It is messy, but really easy and CHEAP and fun! And your hands are really soft when you are done.

You will only need white for the eyes, but if you want to make another color, just add the gel food coloring and kneed it in. Wear gloves if you don't want your hands to turn colors) This stuff will last a good long time in the fridge if you wrap it up tight enough too!
