Makes 20 servings.

2 (12 ounce) bags white chocolate morsels, Nestle

2 teaspoons vegetable shortening, Crisco

20 glazed donut holes, Entenmann's

20 round jellied candies, Gummi Savers

20 milk chocolate candies, M&M's

Red food coloring, Schilling

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.

Melt chocolate morsels with vegetable shortening in a stainless steel

bowl by setting bowl over a pan of simmering water and stirring until

smooth.

Cut two 1/8-inch-slices from opposite sides of each donut hole. Drop the

donut holes into the chocolate, one at a time. Using a fork, coat the

donut hole in chocolate. Lift and gently shake to remove excess

chocolate. Place on prepared cookie sheet, cut side down.

Repeat with remaining donut holes.

Reserve unused chocolate.

Place the jellied candies on top surface of donut holes. Refrigerate

until set.

Re-heat chocolate if necessary. Place a small dab of melted chocolate on

the chocolate candies and stick them onto the jellied candies.

Refrigerate until set, about 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix 2 drops of food coloring with 2 teaspoons melted

chocolate.

Use a toothpick to draw "veins" on the eyeballs. Refrigerate until ready

to serve.
