1 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup butter, softened

1 tsp vanilla extract

3 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

12 oz. white candy coating, chopped

1 tbsp shortening

20 blue milk chocolate M&M’s

2o brown milk chocolate M&M’s

red decorating gel

In a small mixing bowl, cream the peanut butter, butter and vanilla. Gradually beat in confectioners’ sugar. Shape into 1-inch balls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy coating and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip peanut butter balls into coating; place on waxed paper. Place M&M’s, plain side up, on top. Let stand until set. Use red gel to create “bloodshot” eyes.
