• Melt the white chocolate and shortening in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Dip each eyeball into the white chocolate and transfer to the waxed paper until the chocolate has set. You can chill them in the refrigerator.
• Stir a few drops of blue food coloring into the remaining melted white chocolate. Make a round "iris" on the top of the cooled eyeball and press a mini chocolate chip in the center for a "pupil." For an extra spooky bloodshot eyeballs take a toothpick dipped in red food coloring and make squiggly lines on the eye.

Then Use a small knife to try and scrape a little of the excess coating off the bottom to help prevent a big glob on the bottom. Place ball back on cookie sheet and twist the toothpick gently to remove it.
• 7. Gently press an M&M on top of the toothpick hole while coating is still warm.
• 8. Using a tooth pick, dip it into red coloring and add squiggly lines into coating to make blood shot eyes. (you can use some prepared red icing out of a tube, if you wish)
