With April fools coming up just around the corner, your kids are probably dying to play some practical jokes. Instead of waking up to some horrific prank on the first, help them make these cute little eyeball treats from DisneyFamily.com by Cindy Littlefield if you like this post, check out Disney Family for a ton of great ideas from crafts to entertainment.
"When the crewman Ragetti accompanied Jack Sparrow to Tia Dalma's shack, he discovered the ultimate sight for sore eyes. Among the former sea goddess' magical wares was a jar filled with eyeballs, and Ragetti hoped his chance to replace his own wooden orb was near. As fate would have it, Ragetti was destined to keep his fake peeper a while longer -- until Barbossa, who had given it to Ragetti in the first place, ultimately reclaimed it as one of the "Pieces of Eight" needed to transform Tia Dalma back into Calypso. Unlike the ones in Tia Dalma's stores, these edible candy-coated eyeballs are up for grabs. But you'll want to act fast. They're not likely to last long.
You'll need:
Cookie sheet
Waxed paper
Mixing bowl
1/2 cup softened cream cheese
22 chocolate sandwich cookies
Tablespoon
Lifesaver Gummies
A handful of chocolate chips
2 cups white chocolate chips
Microwaveable measuring cup or small, deep bowl
Toothpicks
Instructions:
1. Line the cookie sheet with waxed paper and set it aside.
2. Crush the sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this in a food processor, or seal them in a plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
3. Combine the cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl and stir until the ingredients are well combined.
4. With clean hands, roll half tablespoonfuls of the cookie mixture into balls (about 1 1/4-inch in diameter) and place them on the waxed paper. Use you thumb to make a shallow nickel-size depression in the top of each ball.
5. Chill the cookie balls until firm (about 1 hour).
6. Select a Lifesaver Gummy to use as an iris for each eyeball. Stretch the centers to enlarge the holes a bit and insert a chocolate chip, tip down, in each one. Set the irises aside for now.
7. Pour the white chocolate chips into the measuring cup or bowl and melt them in the microwave according to the directions on the package.
8. Insert a toothpick into one of the chilled cookie balls. Dip the ball into the melted white chocolate and then set it on the tray, using a second toothpick to hold it in place while you pull the first one out. Immediately set one of the irises atop the candy-coated ball and gently press it into the depression. Repeat this step with the rest of the cookie balls.
9. Allow the white chocolate coating to cool and harden before serving the eyeballs. You can speed up the process by chilling them on the tray for a few minutes. Store leftover eyeballs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes a dozen or more."

Scott Bath Tissue Coupon
$1/1 Scott Bath Tissue 12 pack or larger
Not the best coupon for TP I've ever seen, but one of the better ones. You can hardly ever find them for more than .75, so get this while you can. You can use it now if you need TP or save it and try to find a sale down the road before it expires.
Search for it under personal care to find it faster.
