Substitutions

Best Match

M&M's or Skittles (with drawn pupils)

1:1

Provides colorful, circular shape and crunch; requires drawing a pupil with edible marker.

White Chocolate Chips + Edible Marker

1:1

Melted and piped into circles, then add pupil; customizable size, but more effort.

Royal Icing Dots + Edible Marker

Varies

Pipe white royal icing dots, let dry, then add pupils; homemade, customizable, but time-consuming.

Marshmallow Mini + Edible Marker

1:1

Softer texture, creates a puffed 'eye'; easy to use, but visually different texture.
