| I have my eye on you |
Makes about 20-22 (Depending on the size of the eyes)
200g Plain Sponge (eg Madeira or Victoria Sponge)
150g Oreo Biscuits
150g Dark Chocolate
50g Butter
250g White Chocolate
Decoration
Red Gel Food Colouring
Black Gel Food Colouring
Strawberry Laces
Sugar-coated chocolate confectionery (don't want to say brand, but we all know what I mean)
1. Blitz the sponge and biscuits together, in a food processor, until they resemble crumbs.
2. Add the melted butter and milk chocolate to the food processor. And blend until the mixture sticks together.
3. Form the mixture into balls and place on a plate and put in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
4. Boil some water in a pan and place a bowl on top with the white chocolate in it. Reduce the heat of the pan and melt slowly so the chocolate doesn't end up grainy.
5. Cover the chocolate balls in the white chocolate and place on a cooling rack so the excess drips off (put a piece of grease proof paper to make it easier to clean up).
6. For the sugar-coated chocolate confectionery put a drop of black gel for the pupils. While the white chocolate is still warm place the sweet on the truffle. Then leave the balls to cool.
7. For the laces, this will be the veins. Take 3 laces and wrap one them around the other two. Snip them so they are approximately 5cms in length. Warm up a teaspoon (I placed it in a mug of warm water and dried it) then melt the side which is opposite the sweet and place the laces on the chocolate and allow it to cool off.
8. Finish off the look by making the eyes blood shot, by using the red gel food colouring. If you run out and want to make the eyes gory, squeeze the tube and the remains will splatter over the eyes giving it a bloody effect.
