These Eyeball Red Velvet Pudding Pies are perfect for your halloween party!
When it comes to bedtime, my husband and I are like an old married couple. We head upstairs around 9:30, watch TV for a bit, and I’m usually asleep shortly after 10:00. This happens every single day. Even when we’re on vacation.
See? Old.
Seriously, the thought of staying up past 10:30 gives me the heebie-jeebies. This girl needs her sleep.
I’m one of those people who has to get 6-7 hours just to be able to function. I am NOT a nice person unless I get a full nights’ sleep. It’s always been that way, since I was a kid.
As you can probably imagine, having an infant was not a very good time for me. People talk about how you “forget” the pain of childbirth (Um. No you don’t.) or how you “just deal” with having no sleep because you have such a cute baby as a tradeoff.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I “just dealt” with having an infant who refused to sleep well until she was 6 months old by going totally hormonal and insane.
If someone ever needs to get me to spill my baking secrets, there’s no need for torture. Just sleep deprive me for one night and I will spill like a spy being waterboarded.
I give all of you East Coasters’ props, that’s for sure. Your sports events run until the wee hours of the morning. Linky parties start at 9:00pm or later and you still link up before I do.
I’ve been doing a lot of work with Ashton lately for Online BlogCon and she starts working about the time I am ready to turn off my computer and she is three hours ahead of me.
I really don’t know how y’all do it.
What does sleep have to do with Halloween Week and eyeballs?
Pretty much everything…because this is how my eyes look if I don’t get my beauty rest.
I had to do a pie for Halloween Week. How could I not?
I like eyeballs at Halloween. I don’t know why. They’re gross. But also…cute? Anyway, these eyeball pies are not just Cool Whip and Lifesavers.
Think for a second if you cut open an eyeball. One that was still attached, like in a gory movie or something.
{Now I’m going to lose sleep because I’m going to have nightmares. Thanks self.}
If you cut open an eyeball, I imagine it would be bloody.
Kind of like cutting a Red Velvet Pudding Pie.
Super gross…and perfect for Halloween.

I’m dying thinking about kids biting into these at a class Halloween party. How perfectly creepy!
I know, huh? Then the kids eyes would look like that and the teacher would go crazy. ๐

Thanks Michelle!
Love this!!
Thank you! ๐
These are adorable! Definitely what you think of when you think of cutting open eyes…if that’s something you think about…haha I definitely want to make some of these for my Halloween party!
I don’t think going to sleep at 10 makes you old! (Trust me, I’m 20 and most of my friends go to sleep around that time!) I wish I went to sleep earlier. In fact, it’s after 1am right now and my boyfriend and I are still up. I love my sleep too, though, which means that since we go to sleep late, I hate waking up before noon. When my little one comes in January, I am going to be one cranky, sleep-deprived camper!!
Hopefully you can train him to be a late sleeper!!! ๐ And thank you!
