Those attending New York Comic Con this year will have the chance to preview a special intergalactic confection that FYE created in collaboration with Cartoon Network Enterprises and Adult Swim called 'Eyeholes.' Fans of Rick & Morty will recognize these treats from the Interdimensional Cable 2: Tempting Fate episode, as they feature the exact same packaging as pictured in the adult cartoon show.
Although the box may look like it contains a standard dry breakfast cereal, the packaging holds a dozen gourmet white chocolate truffles, complete with green strawberry filling. In the show, characters caught with a box of Eyeholes risk getting beaten up by the Eyehole Man—on this note, FYE states: "FYE guarantees these Eyeholes are worth the risk of getting beat up by Eyehole Man."
The novelty Rick & Morty Eyehole Chocolate Truffles are set to be available online and in-store exclusively through FYE later this fall, although the product is currently available for pre-order.
