Coconut Eyeballs

I’m not sure who’s more excited about Halloween this year, me or my kids. Whenever October rolls around I get way jazzed to make treats like Cookie Dough Bites, Gravestone Brownies and Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts, so this year I’m adding a spooky new fun dessert to my Halloween sweets list: Coconut Eyeballs.

There’s no cooking involved with this recipe, making it an even bigger winner in my eyes (no pun intended). With only 6 ingredients these bite-size treats couldn’t be simpler to make. It’s also one of those recipes you want to get your kids to help you make as they don’t need to look perfect — they should be a bit cracked and spooky looking. All you do is take some of the coconut mixture in your hand, shape it into a circle, press in the dried cherries, refrigerate and…voila. You can make them UP TO a week in advance and keep them in the fridge (I’ve actually already froze a batch 2 weeks ago to get myself ahead for the holiday this year).

For families with food allergies this treat offers the added bonuses of being gluten, nut, dairy and dye-free as well as being vegan.

Keep things simple but fun this Halloween by making a batch of these sweet treats. You won’t be disappointed — and neither will your kids!
