Today I’ve got for you these delicious eyeballs made of Mozzarella Balls and Pimento Stuffed Olives.These are served on some Homemade Marinara Sauce for a tasty appetizer for Halloween.The inspiration came from here and I thought it was a great way to serve mozzarella balls and much more fun for the kids too!I used Pimento stuffed olives and used my 1/4 tsp stainless steel measuring spoon to scoop a small portion of the mozzarella balls just enough to fit the olives.

I served these eyeballs with my home made marinara sauce that’s a weekly staple in my house.Its super easy,has tons of flavor and makes my life much easier.I typically make a jar of this sauce and keep it in my refrigerator to be used all week for our meals, kids lunches,soups etc etc.Way better than the store bought stuff any day.
