Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
Melt chocolate morsels with vegetable shortening in a stainless
steel bowl by setting bowl over a pan of simmering water and
stirring until smooth.
Cut two 1/8-inch-slices from opposite sides of each donut hole. Drop
the donut holes into the chocolate, one at a time. Using a fork,

excess chocolate. Place on prepared cookie sheet, cut side down.

In a small bowl, mix 2 drops of food coloring with 2 teaspoons
melted chocolate.
Use a toothpick to draw "veins" on the eyeballs. Refrigerate until
ready to serve.
