Really tasty! We made these for breakfast for my daughter's Halloween Themed Spooky Sleepover Bday Party. I was operating on too little sleep, so I was very grateful that the recipe was so simple, yet delicious! (I did, however, forget to put the ketchup on the eyes to make them bloodshot...) The girls gobbled up their "Ogre Eyeballs"!
