Gruesome Marshmallow Eyeballs

Gruesome Marshmallow Eyeballs | Halloween

Marshmallow eyeballs make a fun treat for Halloween next week. They are super easy to make as there is no cooking involved. I made a whole load while watching TV!

Ingredients

1 packet of Marshmallows

1 packet of Maltesers

Red and green writing icing

Method

1. Use a chopstick to make a hole in the marshmallow.

2. Widen the hole with your fingers and add in a malteser.

3. Ice a dot in the middle of the malteser for the eye's iris and use red icing on the marshmallows to look like veins.

It really is that easy!

However, nothing quite matches the crazy ice creams available at Karafuneya Coffee in Kyoto. As soon as you enter this lovely cafe in the Sanjo area of Kyoto, you are greeted by an enormous number of plastic models representing the amazing desserts. The best thing about Karafuneya is the sheer range of sundaes. We were equally thrilled by the classic chocolate and strawberry parfaits and the slightly more unusual Japanese flavours, such as macha and black sesame. There were even enormous sundaes (about 2 feet tall) that you can share with all your friends. However, the real eye catchers are the more outlandish ice cream combinations. We spotted a model for a French fries parfait, a deep fried chicken parfait and an American hot dog parfait. The models actually looked surprisingly delicious, but we weren't feeling too adventurous.
