these turned out pretty good! They were fun to make, fun to eat and tasted pretty good too. I used colored marzipan for the iris and pupils and a toothpick to make the red veins.

First candy I ever made and the grandkids loved it. (so did I). Its easy and has a wonderful melt in your mouth kind of texture. Its now an annual family "thing". I was a little worried when I started but the directions were clear and if you follow them, you'll end up making a hit!

Great recipe! This was my first time working with melted chocolate, so had a burning mishap with most of the white chocolate that I bought. I ended up making a few white chocolate ghosts, then a bunch of peanut butter balls covered with semi-sweet chocolate instead of the white chocolate. I used the balls as a base in a serving bowl and put the ghosts on top. They were all a hit! I found that freezing the peanut butter balls really helps to keep everything from melting together as you work. Also, be generous with the chocolate coating for easy handling. Enjoy!

Tasted good, but had a hard time with the white chocolate coating on evenly. I used imitation-that was probably my problem? Ended up with fingerprints on it. Tried toothpicks and had holes.......still tasted good!!!

I made these according to the recipe. They turned out great and were a big hit for Halloween. I have tasted better an I have seen the balls rounder than I was able to get them. But, overall great recipe.

Great recipe!!! Made for my halloween party and everyone loved them. A few notes: I kept putting them in the freezer in between the steps to keep them hard. When i rolled them into a ball I used the batch in sections while the rest was in the freezer. Easier to work with. I also used toothpicks in the peanut butter balls to dip in the chocolate. It made them easier to manuver. I just pulled it out before i did the iris and pupil. Couldn't even tell. I did not use any shortening in the white chocolate - just meltedi n microwave.

These were really good! Everyone ate them up at my son's Halloween party. I used a toothpick dipped in red food coloring to draw the veins on the eyes and it worked really well. But the peanut butter was runny for me and I had to freeze it in order to dip them in the white chocolate. Next time I will make sure I've added enough sugar. Very good and fun for Halloween!

These are yummy! My boys really love them. I added rice crispies as someone else had commented on, and like they said I needed more white chocolate to coat them but it was worth it because they were so tasty! They're tough to handle (tried making some into ghosts too, that was challenging!) but do-able and worth the efforts!

I never have any luck melting white chocolate and trying this recipe wasn't any different. However my inability to cook shouldn't reflect poorly on this recipe. First after I made the peanut butter mix I put them into balls with a toothpick in each ball and then froze them overnight. I melted regular chocolate chips and then rolled the peanut butter balls in small batches. After letting the chocolate harden then it was time for tasting. Taste was very good and these things are addicting. Will make again.

These are fun to make and delicious. I followed the original recipe and am satisfied with the turn out. I would have liked to have had a round candy mold to speed up the process and have a smoother eye ball.
