Allergy safe DIY goodly eyes! With this recipe, you will be able to enjoy baking with your LOs without worrying about allergic reactions or cross contamination!
I highly recommend using “safe” chocolate chips for the pupils; I used Enjoy Life’s chocolate chips. Make sure you add the chocolate chips “pointy side down.” (If you don’t have chocolate chips available, you can use “the black icing” version)
Holiday season is here! I have been using these DIY googly eyes on a lot of baked goods and snacks for our boys. These googly eyes make your meals instantaneously fun and SAFE!!!
I made 2 versions. One with white icing and chocolate chips; another with white icing with black icing. I like with the icing and chocolate chipcs better sincer it is 3D. I think they look cuter! You can see the pic below to see the difference.
You can also make googly eyes with marshmallows and chocolate chips.
Have fun & Safe baking!
