    bloody chicken eyeballs meatballs in a dish

    Meatballs are awesome, the perfect party food. These bloody chicken eyeballs are super fun and festive Halloween version!

    Meatballs make for easy munching and easy cleanup as your guests can use their fingers or a toothpick. They're easy to prep ahead of time to help save time the day of the party and they satisfy even the biggest of appetites so all those big guys will get their fill.

    I serve meatballs at all of my parties, but for Halloween, I'm looking for something a bit more ghoulish than the regular boring ground beef or lamb meatball. You can't make an eyeball out of ground beef. You need the white of the eye, so let's try bloody chicken eyeballs instead!

    These are substantial, savory, and oh-so-good dipped in blood (low-carb marinara sauce). You can use any jarred marinara sauce or you can whip up a simple homemade marinara sauce recipe.

    Make sure and serve them on a festive Halloween inspired serving platter! You could also serve them in a crockpot with the sauce to keep them warm. I usually just put out some funky Halloween toothpicks next to the the dish so folks can just spear an eyeball and munch,
