Halloween Lychee Eyeballs I
From Goodcocktails.com
Peeled Lychees (fresh or canned)
Green Maraschino Cherries
Raisins
Strawberry Glaze (blood)
Place raisins inside green maraschino cherries. Place cherries inside lychees to form eyeballs.
Note: Use the biggest lychees that you can find and be very careful when inserting the cherries into the lychees. You don't want to rip the lychees apart.
From about.com
1 canned grade AA lychee in syrup, drained
1/4 tsp cherry, strawberry or raspberry preserves
1 blueberry
Dry lychee and fill with preserves

Skewer with cocktail pick (search for picks that look like a miniature ice pick for full affect).

ReplyDeleteNext year I'm trying the breadsticks. Mary at the Home is Where the Boat is blog made hers curved so they could hold onto a glass or other fixed item. I can see these wrapped around a cup of blood red tomato soup. Enjoyed the video!
