Title: Bloodshot Eyeballs
Categories: Halloween Snack
Yield: 16 Eyeballs

7	oz	Sweetened flaked coconut
1	c	Chopped white chocolate
		Or white chocolate chips
2	tb	All purpose flour
2	tb	Light corn syrup
8		Red gumdrops, cut in half
		Crosswise
2		Tubes (.68 oz) red glossy
		Decorating gel

Place coconut, white chocolate and flour into the bowl of the food processor and process until finely chopped. Add the corn syrup and process again for about 30 seconds. Be careful not to overprocess or the dough will become oily.

Spread a sheet of wax paper on the counter. Roll the dough into 16 balls and stick half a gumdrop into each, the shiny cut side facing out to create pupils for the eyeballs. Set the eyeballs on a sheet of wax paper.

Use red decorating gel to make veins so the eyeballs will look bloodshot.
