INCREDIBLE EDIBLE ZOMBIE EYEBALLS

FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN & TRICK OR TREAT PARTY

HALLOWEEN is fast approaching and I thought I'd share this incredibly easy (queezy?) method for making super edible Zombie eyeballs for your little ghouls and ghosties to gobble up.
I originally posted this as a great way of making edible frog spawn for foggy themed parties. But so many friends said "Hey, you know what! These would look great at Halloween. So, if you simply swap the Lime jelly / jello for Blackcurrant, you'll have great looking, great tasting 
ZOMBIE EYEBALLS for your HALLOWEEN PARTY Here's how ...

Make your own incredible edible Zombie eyes! 

It looks amazing and tastes even better. You will need ...

Spherical ice cube tray

1 pack BLACKCURRANT flavoured jello (US) - jelly (UK)

handful of blueberries, measuring jug

stirring stick, refrigerator

Unwrap and prepare the Jello. I find it quicker and easier to snip the chunks into small pieces using scissors.
You can even afford it eat a bit as you do this! : )

As you can see my blueberries are frozen but don't have to be.

This next bit is important. Follow the instructions on your particular brand BUT you shouldn't use as much hot water as it suggests to melt the pieces. At least HALVE what it recommends and maybe even a bit less than that. You want the resulting Jello to come out of the mould stronger, more concentrated, and much firmer than normal.

A short blast in the microwave helps melt the pieces more quickly. Once mixed thoroughly and dissolved, pour your delicious smelling liquid blackcurrant Jello into the bottom half of your spherical mould, almost to the top. 

And then ..... wait!!!!! 

Yes, this is the boring bit, you need to let the mixture start to set before adding your blueberries.

The time will vary from brand to brand so just be patient.

Now comes the only tricky part. If your Jello has 'semi set' to just the right consistency it will be a thick liquid and a bit wobbly. You will be able to plop each blueberry into place smack in the middle of the circles. Sometimes they float out of position so wait until you've placed all of them and then using a cocktail stick, or similar, gently push them into place.

Once you're happy with their positions, drop the top half of the mould smartly on top and begin pressing down, forcing out the excess liquid Jello. Don't worry about making a mess you can lick (I mean clean) it up afterwards.

Pop it into the refrigerator for about an hour or more and then the best bit is opening up the moulds to reveal your perfect Jello spheres. With this particular mould I use a round knife tip to gently prise it apart.

If your Jello is just the right consistency you will be able to gently tease and ease the balls out of the lower half of the mould taking care not to rip off the top half.

These incredible edible Zombie eyes look great when served with ice cream, or make lots and simply pile them up in a great heap and let the party goers dig in. I've not yet tried it with blood red Raspberry sauce dribbled over the top but I bet that looks fantastically gory.

*Or for adults only - why not add a measure of your favourite spirit into the initial mix and serve in shot glasses!!??

I hope you enjoy making these incredible edible Zombie yes and remember to check back each week or so for more freebies and great ideas.

#1 INCREDIBLE EDIBLE FROG SPAWN

• AMAZING MONA LISA FROG ILLUSION •

Try this amazing optical illusion!
Here's a great magic illusion featuring one of my favourite pieces of artwork - Mona Lisa Frog.
This works best on your tablet or PC. All you need do is firstly to click on this negative image to bring it into the picture viewer.
Now stare at Mona's face intently for 20 seconds (whilst having your mouse or finger hover over the 2nd small icon image below the negative picture).
After 20 seconds - keep looking in the same place - as you click on the 2nd small icon image.

As soon as you've clicked and switched to to the 2nd picture keep looking at that same spot and you'll see my Mona Lisa Frog artwork in full glorious colour. You'll notice it's surrounded by a golden gilt picture frame. 

OR SO YOU PERCEIVE! 

But in reality there is actually NO colour there at all! What?! 

You'll truly not believe your eyes.

So you'd better try and see for yourself.

Whilst in the picture viewer you'll be able to try it again and again by switching between the first 2 images as often as you like.

Mona Lisa Frog (or Frogga Lisa) is one of my favourite illustrations. It was created way before digital using water colours and coloured pencils, and some montage for the frame. It has been licensed and used on posters and postcard designs, mouse mats and T shirts and more.

I've now turned it into an unbelievable magical illusion.

This amazing illusion is part of my I LOVE FROGS resources.
