Tips

Tips from Chica and Jo:

This recipe makes a large number of eyeballs, so if you don't have enough palettes, try cutting the recipe in half.
Make them as wild and crazy as you want, or to be on the safe-side, make them a normal color... Either way these bites are sure to give your friends the chills.
These go great on a platter on a buffet table, on your guests' dinner plates, as a cake topping, on a swizzle stick in cocktails, on your tongue as a gag joke to shock friends, or anywhere else your heart desires!
