Spooky Halloween Eyeballs made from lychees and blueberries on a white plate

Halloween is almost here. For my family, that means so much candy we don't know what to do with it all, from just a couple of short hours of trick or treating.

Plus all the extra candy that's not from trick or treating. It comes from friends at school, or teachers, or "extra" trick or treating and Halloween-related events that happen days or even weeks before Halloween.

Not that I have a problem with my kids eating some candy. But the candy we get trick or treating is enough, and often doesn't even get finished.

We don't need more - it just ends up going to waste. This is why I like to find some non-candy Halloween-themed snacks and treats to celebrate. And these Spooky Halloween Eyeballs certainly fit the bill.

Spooky Halloween Eyeballs made from lychees and blueberries on a white plate

These creepy-looking eyeball snacks are perfect if you need to bring a snack to a Halloween party at the last minute. They're fast and easy to prepare, and require no cooking!

Plus, they're a healthier option as they're made from fruit and just a little jam for extra goriness.

Where can you find canned lychees?

Most large, well-stocked grocery stores will have canned lychees. You can find them either with the canned fruit, or in the International aisle.

Alternatively, you will definitely be able to find them in an Asian market like T&T or H-Mart.

If you don't have access to any of these types of stores, you can order them online.

How to make Halloween Eyeballs:

Making these spooky-looking, healthy, and delicious eyeball snacks is super quick and easy.

You will need to buy a can (or two of lychees), which typically come packed in a sweet syrup. Drain the syrup and lightly dry off the lychees.

Using a small spoon, dribble a bit of red jam or jelly into the hole of the lychee. Try melting it in the microwave for a few seconds if the jam is very thick.

Then simply pop a blueberry into each lychee hole. This should cause some of the jam to leak out around the blueberry, making it look like red (or bloody) eyes. SCARY!

Not only are these eyeballs fun and delicious eaten straight off a platter, but they also make fun drink garnishes in a Halloween-themed cocktail or mocktail.

How will you serve your eyeballs?

Spooky Halloween Eyeballs Nutrition Notes:

The above nutrition information is for one "eyeball". The calculations use regular jam, not reduced or low-sugar jam.

The amount of sugar in your Halloween eyeball snacks will vary depending on the amount of sugar in the syrup of your canned lychees, as well as on the type of jam you choose.

But overall, these can be considered a healthier spooky Halloween treat compared to many other (candy-based) options out there.
