Halloween Eyeball Cookies

(Looks creepy tastes good.)
1/2-cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
2 cups powdered sugar
1-tablespoon vanilla
12 ounces white dipping chocolate
1/2-cup mini chocolate chips
Blue food coloring
Cream the butter and peanut butter together. Beat in the vanilla and sugar. Chill for 1/2 hour. Roll into small balls, chill on wax paper for another 1/2 hour. In a microwave, melt the white dipping chocolate. Using two spoons dip the eyeballs into the white chocolate. Let cool on waxed paper until firm. Chilling will speed up the process. Pour a drop or two of blue food coloring into the remaining melted chocolate. Make a round iris on the eyeball, and immediately press a miniature chocolate chip in the center for a pupil, doing 5 at a time. For the bloodshot effect, dip the tiny end of a toothpick in red food coloring and squiggle the lines from the pupil outward, but not quite to the edges of the ball. Note: White-dipping chocolate is also known as white bark. Makes 40 cookies in 20 minutes.
