A Halloween Recipe: Halloween Cheddar Eyeballs
I’ve got our kids sitting at our kitchen bar stools* shredding cheese in our food processor to make Halloween Cheddar Eyeballs.
I’ve been debating what to bring to a friend’s Halloween party. So much of food is about its presentation, what’s visually appealing to your taste buds. While I’d love to make something like Worms in Dirt or Pickled Brains, would anybody eat it?
But everybody loves cheese, right? No matter what shape it comes in. Especially when it’s got butter mixed in.
Halloween Cheddar Eyeballs, adapted from Oprah.com:
- 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 tsp. cayenne
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 bottle (6 ounces) pimento-stuffed green olives, drained
Grate cheese, butter, cayenne and salt in a food processor. Slowly add flour. When a ball forms, stop mixing.
Roll dough into eyeballs. Push a green olive, with the stuffed end showing, in each one.
Bake at 400 for 12 – 15 minutes.
PS In my haste to make it through the grocery store without breaking anything, I forgot to buy green olives. But the cheddar eyeballs tasted great. Sort of like giant Cheez-Its. Not that I’d know.

Oh my goodness!!! That is too cute! I need to try this with my boys!

Cool! Love your blog, just stumbled onto it.
Okay, now you’re going to think my family is weird. The hubby and the daughter do not like cheese, unless it’s on pizza mainly. I can sneak it in with Philly cheese steaks or chicken and cheese, but I can’t just give them foods with cheese as the primary ingredient. This looks so good for me, lol! I’m a cheese fanatic so thanks for the recipe.
Have a safe Halloween!
Love this idea – eyeballs can be so tasty. I am going to include your link in a line-up of Halloween savories for an Examiner article.
This looks Yummy and Fun! We will try this this weekend, thanks for sharing. I am following you…
