Ingredients
Scale
- 1 large pack of unflavored gelatin (about 2 packets)
- 2 cups boiling water
- 1 package flavored gelatin (e.g., raspberry or lime for vivid color)
- 1 cup cold water
- Mini marshmallows or fondant (for eyeball centers)
- Small plastic or silicone eyeball molds (or peeled grapes for a creepy effect)
- Food coloring (red, green, or black for extra creepiness)
- Optional: edible glitter for extra glittering effect
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of cold water. Let sit for 5 minutes to bloom.
- Add 2 cups of boiling water and stir until fully dissolved. Mix in flavored gelatin powder and stir well. Add food coloring if desired.
- Pour the mixture into molds and refrigerate until firm, about 2-3 hours.
- Prepare tiny eyeballs by shaping mini marshmallows or fondant into small spheres. Use food coloring to add veins or details for a creepy effect.
- Once gelatin is set, insert the eyeballs into each mold’s center. Optionally, coat them with red gelatin or edible glitter for realism.
- Refrigerate again until fully set. Carefully unmold by pressing sides, then place on a serving platter.
- Decorate with red food coloring or syrup for bloodshot effects. Drizzle or add drops around the eyeballs for extra creepiness.
Notes
- Use high-quality food coloring for vibrant colors.
- For vegan options, substitute with agar-agar and plant-based marshmallows.
- To make molds easier to unmold, lightly oil or spray with non-stick spray before pouring gelatin.
- Creative shapes like pumpkins or skulls can be made using different silicone molds.
- Handle molds gently to prevent breakage and assure details remain intact.
