![]() When we did it the same day they were going to be eaten, with strawberries that were dried off after washing, they lasted for hours. They then will actually stick to fruit and dry relatively attached.ĭon’t do this too far in advance if you have moist fruit, though -trying to do it the night before we had them melt because the strawberries sweat too much. My husband discovered that if you wet your finger lightly and rub it gently on the back of the set googly eyes, you’ll feel them get sticky after a few seconds of rubbing. (An apple in the fruit basket, the pitcher of water…) We put them on strawberries and chains of grapes to make worms, and even decorated a few random things in the house with them. ![]() ![]() The paste IS thick, which is why they hardened so well into great little googly eyes. (I am sure that a real piping bag would have been the best.) I originally used a plastic bag with the corner cut to pipe little dots, but actually found I could take a small amount in my fingers, shape it lightly, and squish it down with the chocolate chip and that was easier than using the ziplock bag. The recipe was easy and turned out exactly as pictured. Wanted to say thanks again for this recipe now that I’ve used it! I made these for my son’s school Halloween Party, and they were AMAZING. Don’t want to use cornstarch either? Omit and sub in arrowroot powder. Again, you were warned. Don’t want to use it? Omit it but don’t yell at me if they aren’t as cute as mine. It helps with the texture and firmness of the eyes. Now let me answer your question as you review the recipe ingredients. And if you are someone who is trying to avoid animal products, how on earth are you supposed to eye-ball your cupcakes and cookies this holiday season? See the predicament! Eye got you covered (snickering…) The great thing about making your own homemade vegan googly eyes is that not only do you now have something to decorate your upcoming Halloween treats with but mainly because the goggly eyes sold in stores are actually made with gelatin. I kept asking them, “Are you looking at me? Are YOU looking at ME?” It never gets old… I’m telling you, as these googly eyes were setting for the past 24 hours, I kept walking past them and giggling with pure delight. I have been so excited to share with you this recipe.
