Truffle Eyeballs: Roll 12 small pieces of white fondant into pea-size balls; flatten into thin rounds. Dampen one side of each with water and stick onto a white chocolate truffle. Mix green gel food coloring with a few drops of water; paint the fondant. Paint a dot with black gel food coloring for the pupil.
Raspberry Blood: Bring 3 cups raspberries, 1 cup sugar and 1 cup water to a boil, then simmer until soft, 8 minutes. Return to a boil, whisk in 1 1/2 teaspoons pectin and boil 1 minute, whisking. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve and whisk in a few drops of red food coloring. Let cool completely.
