These eyeballs are filled with red raspberry jam, so when you bite into them they bleed raspberry jam (of course you can use strawberry if you prefer that flavor!).
Such a great family project for the kids during the Halloween season for parties or just because they're so darn yummy.

I will include a printable copy of instructions in the recipe card below so you can save this for next year!!
