A Bite of Fun History
Deviled eggs originated in ancient Rome, where boiled eggs were seasoned with spicy sauces. Over time, they became a classic American appetizer.

Ingredients for Halloween Deviled Eggs
For the Deviled Eggs:
- 12 hard boiled eggs, peeled and halved, whites and yolks separated
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
For Decoration:
- Purple food coloring + sliced pimento-stuffed green olives
- Orange food coloring + curly parsley
- Green food coloring + black sesame seeds
- Pitted whole black olives
Optional add-ins: You can mix in smoked paprika for a bloody deviled eggs effect, or try avocado for green, creepy deviled eggs.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Base
Place yolks in a bowl and mash until smooth. Stir in mayonnaise, mustard, and salt until creamy.
Divide & Color
Split the yolk mixture into 4 bowls if making all varieties. Each will serve 6 whites.
Eyeball Deviled Eggs
Mix purple food coloring into one bowl. Fill whites, then top with sliced pimento-stuffed green olives to mimic eyeballs.
Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
Tint another bowl orange. Pipe filling into whites. Drag a toothpick across to create pumpkin ridges. Garnish with parsley for stems.
Spooky Green Deviled Eggs
Add green coloring into the third bowl. Fill whites, then sprinkle with black sesame seeds for extra eerie vibes.
Spider Deviled Eggs
Leave one bowl plain. Fill whites, then cut black olives into bodies and legs. Place “spiders” on top for a creepy finish.
Just like when you make Pumpkin Oatmeal Cream Pies, a little creativity goes a long way here.
Pro Tips for Success
- Use older eggs for easier peeling.
- Add food coloring gradually to control intensity.
- Pipe yolk filling with a pastry bag for clean designs.
- Chill eggs 20 minutes before serving to firm up decorations.
Delicious Variations
- Bloody Deviled Eggs: Add beet juice or sriracha for red-tinted yolks.
- Black Deviled Eggs: Dip whites in black food coloring before filling.
- Monster Deviled Eggs: Add edible googly eyes for extra fun.
Serving Suggestions
These Halloween deviled eggs shine on a party tray. Pair them with Pumpkin Fudge or Pumpkin Streusel Muffins for a spooky dessert spread. Serve with apple cider, pumpkin punch, or Harry Potter-inspired drinks for a complete festive table.
