Reading Time: 4 minutes Halloween Smores Eyeballs – Easy Halloween Recipe
This post may contain affiliate links. Read the disclosure.
Our annual Halloween block party is approaching and I was trying to think of an easy potluck Halloween treat. I came up with an idea for Halloween Smores that I decided to try today. It has been rainy all day, and something about the rain makes us want to bake.
Well, I wouldn’t really call this baking… or maybe I’d call it a baking shortcut.
Who loves s’mores? Just about everyone, right? These Smores Halloween eyeballs are made out of just Nilla Wafers, marshmallows, and chocolate chips.
I started with a very small batch because I wasn’t sure how they would turn out. Between my husband, boys, and I, they were gone in an instant. Then, I made another batch, since the first was so successful. I placed them on a plate, took a few pictures, then put the plate on the counter.
I invited the kids to come downstairs and have a few s’mores eyeballs. Before I could finish the invitation, the s’mores were gone!

Halloween Smores Eyeballs – Easy Halloween Treat
Ingredients

- small marshmallows
- chocolate chips (any variety, we prefer milk chocolate)
 |  |  |  |
Directions for Smores Eyeballs
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
- Then, line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
- Lay out the Nilla Wafters (however many you want) with about a half-inch or so between them. I prefer to place the wafers with the curved side up so they look more like rounded eyes.
- Next, on top of each wafer place a small marshmallow.
- Bake for about 5 minutes.
- Then, remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully press one chocolate chip on each marshmallow wafer. Press down to slightly smoosh the marshmallow and get the chocolate chip to stick.
- Return to the oven for about 1 minute.
- Next, let cool until the marshmallows and chocolate chips have hardened. This takes only a few minutes.
- Finally, eat if you dare!
