Ingredients
  

  • 40 g egg whites
  • 150 g Icing sugar
  • Water to adjust consistency
  • Food coloring

Instructions
 

  • Beat egg whites and sugar well. You can use a hand mixer. It should be whipped for about 5 minutes until the mixture becomes tough and forms peaks. If the consistency is too thick, you can add a little bit of water.
  • Divide the icing into two parts. 3/4 should remain white and the last 1/4 should be colored black with food coloring.
  • Then put both colors in two different piping bags, and cut a small hole at the end of the bag.
  • First, pipe white hemispheres on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Then pipe a small black dot on top of the white.
  • Now you can let your candy eyes dry for about a day on the tray, or dry them at 50 degrees Celcius with convectional heat in the oven for about 30-60 minutes depending on how big the eyes are.
  • Store the finished candy eyes in an airtight container.
