Ingredients

1 Can lychees This was 14 lychees for my 565g/230g drained can. You can substitute with fresh lychees but they're harder to find. Alternatively, use canned longans which look pretty similar, just smaller.
16 Blueberries or fresh cranberries Note: the seeds inside a fresh cranberry are edible but not too tasty You can also use dried fruits such as raisins, dried cranberries etc or a mix for more flavor, as I did in the photos above. If you use dried fruit, you'd need more than 1 to fill the lychee cavity so you'd need more than 16 for 1 can of lychees! (Dried fruit are also a little more liable to float out if adding to drinks!)
1-2 Tablespoons Jam, honey, or syrup Substitute: raspberry or strawberry jam
1 teaspoon Red food coloring Optional, only if you want to draw veins and blood around the "eyes". You can substitute with a red jam like raspberry or strawberry

Instructions

Roll the fresh or dried fruit in the syrup, jam or honey- you want to get the fruit sticky!
Brush some of that honey, jam or syrup inside the cavity of the lychee.
Stuff the lychee cavity with the fruit of your choice, making sure to press (gently) onto the jam. Note: choose unbroken lychees- some have holes on the other side too, which the fruit can fall out of! (Not good.)
Optional Step: For extra scary Halloween eyes, use red food coloring or raspberry jam to draw streaks around the hole to mimic bleeding eyes. Note: You can do this with a chopstick, the tines of a fork or a small brush.
