Eyeball Cookies #FoodnFlix

Eyeball Cookies - A spooky Halloween treat everyone will enjoy! 


It’s time for the Halloween edition of Food ‘n Flix!

In Food ‘n Flix, bloggers watch the selected movie for the month, then head to the kitchen to whip up something inspired by the movie!  Any blogger can join in the fun, just click the link to find out more!


This month’s film was Beetlejuice, hosted by Deb at Kahakai Kitchen.


I think I saw part of Beetlejuice, once, ages ago, but I barely remembered it, so it was time to watch it with foodie goggles on.

I’m sure most of you have already seen this movie at one time or another, so I won’t spend a ton of time on a synopsis, especially since this movie was really not my cup of tea.

You guys, I’m reeeeeally not into super Halloweeny or spooky movies.  Like, at all.  My idea of a Halloween movie is It’s the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown, or the Harry Potter series. 


After Hubs reassured me for the millionth time that I wouldn’t get scared watching Beetlejuice (true story: I get scared of commercials for scary movies – I hate this time of year, because I never know when the TV is going to scare me with some freaky preview!)

So, I finally got around to watching Beetlejuice (Hubs was right, it wasn’t scary!)…and I fell asleep half way through (I had had a ridiculously long week!!)  Thankfully, I only missed 5-10 minutes of the movie and still had enough inspiration for my recipe!

After the scene when the Maitlands pull out their eyes to scare the Deetz family, I remembered some eyeball cookies I was eyeing (hehehe) when searching for a recipe for last week’s Taste of Home Tuesday inspiration.

I ended up passing on the cookies that time, but they were perfect for Beetlejuice!

I love when things work out!

Take a look at the rest of the yumminess from Taste of Home Tuesday!

Eyeball Cookies
Adapted from Taste of Home

Oreos (I used Pumpkin Spice)
White candy melts, melted
Blue, green, & chocolate candy melts, unmelted
Mini M&Ms or sprinkles


Line a baking sheet with parchment, waxed paper, or a silicone baking mat.

Dip the Oreos into the melted candy melts, allowing the excess candy to dip off.

Place the cookies onto the prepared surface and immediately place 1 colored candy melt in the center.  Repeat until the remaining cookies/candy melts are used up.

Use a little of the leftover melted candy to stick the M&Ms to the center of each eye.  If desired, use red food coloring to draw lines on the eyes.
