Monster Eyeballs are a favorite in my kitchen when I want something quick and festive. They are the perfect mix of salty pretzels, rich caramel, and a crunchy chocolate center that everyone seems to love.

You can put these together in just a few minutes, which makes them great for last minute parties. My best tip is to work quickly while the caramel is still warm so the candy sticks perfectly.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 1 bag of soft caramel candies
  • 1 bag of chocolate candy coated eyeballs or milk chocolate candies
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

  2. 2

    Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. 3

    Place the mini pretzel twists in a single layer on your baking sheet.

  4. 4

    Unwrap each caramel candy and place one on top of each pretzel.

  5. 5

    Bake for about 3 to 5 minutes until the caramel is soft but not completely melted.

  6. 6

    Remove the tray from the oven and immediately press a chocolate eyeball or candy into the center of each soft caramel.

  7. 7

    Let the treats cool completely on the tray until the caramel sets before serving.

💡 Tips

Store these in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week. If you live in a warm climate, keep them in the fridge so the caramel stays firm. You can also swap the eyeball candies for chocolate chips if you are making these on a regular day.
