SPOOKY EYEBALL TACOS (JOHNNY #5 TACOS)



Spooky Eyeball Tacos (Johnny #5 Tacos) image

These are a sight to see. I originally made them after finding the recipe last year for Halloween and have since changed the recipe around to make them more eater-friendly. The smiles you will receive are priceless! Try to find the widest taco shells possible if you are not making your own. We call them "Johnny 5 Tacos" as they resemble the robot from the movie Short Circuit more than they seem spooky. Kids also love to help prepared these!
