- Let cool completely for 30–60 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate chips in the microwave (30-second intervals) or in a double boiler until smooth.

- Add two candy eyes to each treat while chocolate is still wet.
- Refrigerate 15–20 minutes until chocolate sets before serving.
Notes
For the brightest green color, use gel food coloring. Lightly grease your hands or spatula to prevent sticking when pressing the mixture into the pan.
