Total Time: 15 minutes

Serves: 5 - 10

Ingredients:

1 package (200g) Bocconcini cheese (10 Bocconcini balls)
2 Tbsp honey
1 tsp Calabrian chilli paste
10 slices Prosciutto, thinly sliced
5 pimento stuffed olives, cut in half widthwise or thinly sliced

Instructions:
Preparing the Bocconcini Cheese: Drain and rinse a package of Bocconcini cheese. Pat them dry with paper towel or a tea towel and set aside.

Making the Hot Honey: To a small bowl, add the honey and Calabrian chilli paste. Give it a good mix and set aside.

Creating the Halloween Eyeballs: Grab a slice of Prosciutto and wrap it around the sides and bottom of a Bocconcini ball, leaving the topside of the cheese exposed. Repeat the process with the remaining Bocconcini balls and Prosciutto slices. 

Transfer the Eyeballs to a serving platter or plate, leaving a little space between them. 

Using a small spoon, spoon Hot Honey over the Bocconcini and Prosciutto.

Drizzle the excess Hot Honey over the plate or platter and top each Halloween Eyeball with a sliced olive. Serve and enjoy!
