  • 100g bar milk chocolate, melted
  • 200g bar white chocolate, melted
  • few Smarties and icing pens, to decorate

How to make Eerie eyeball pops;
  1. Break the Madeira cake and cookies into the bowl of a food processor, pour in the melted milk chocolate and whizz to combine.
  2. Tip the mixture into a bowl, then use your hands to roll into about 10 walnut-sized balls. 
  3. Chill for 2 hrs until really firm.
  4. Push a skewer into each ball, then carefully spoon the white chocolate over the cake balls to completely cover. 
  5. Stand the cake pops in the pumpkin, then press a Smartie onto the surface while wet.

  7. Before serving, using the icing pens, add a pupil to each Smartie and wiggly red veins to the eyeballs.
