Looking for a spooky snack that’s easy, creepy, and guaranteed to steal the show at your Halloween party? These Halloween Deviled Eggs are a frightfully fun twist on the classic appetizer! Brightly colored with orange and black dyed eggs, filled with a neon-green yolk mixture, and topped with candy eyeballs, they’re the perfect mix of spooky and silly.

They’re simple to make, totally customizable, and a crowd favorite for Halloween parties, classroom treats, or themed dinners.

My best friend loves my deviled eggs, they’re one of those dishes she looks forward to every single Easter and Christmas. It’s basically tradition at this point! So when I told her I was making a Halloween version, she was SO excited. I think she may have shown up faster than the eggs could chill!

Print

Ingredients

• 1 dozen eggs
• ½ cup mayonnaise
• 4 tablespoons mustard
• 1 tablespoon pickle juice
• 1 teaspoon paprika (plus extra for topping)
• ½ teaspoon pepper
• Orange food coloring
• Black food coloring
• Green food coloring
• Large candy eyes (optional but super fun!)

Instructions

Boil the Eggs

Place eggs in a single layer in a saucepan. Cover with water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, turn off the heat, cover, and let sit for 12 minutes.

Cool and Peel

Run cold water over the eggs until cool enough to handle, then gently peel each one. Pat dry with paper towels.

Dye the Egg Whites

Cut each egg in half and scoop out the yolks. Place 12 egg halves in a zip-top bag with orange food coloring and 2 cups of water. Repeat with another 12 halves in black food coloring and 2 cups of water. Seal and gently move the bags around to coat evenly. Refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours (overnight is even better).

Make the Filling

Mash the yolks in a bowl. Mix in mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, paprika, and pepper until smooth. Add a few drops of green food coloring and mix until you reach your desired spooky shade!

Assemble the Eggs

Rinse the dyed egg whites and pat dry. Pipe or spoon the green filling into each half. Top with a candy eye for the perfect “monster egg” look.

Chill & Serve

Refrigerate until ready to serve. These are best served cold and fresh!

Ingredients
12 Mini Fudge Stripe Cookies
12 Chocolate Chips

Frequently Asked Questions:

How should I store Melted Witch Fudge?
Keep your fudge in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to a week. You can also freeze it for up to three months and let it thaw in the fridge before serving.

Can I use white chocolate chips instead of candy melts?
Yes, you can use white chocolate chips and color them with OIL BASED food coloring if you cannot find colored candy melts.

Do I really need to refrigerate between each layer?
Yes, refrigerating between layers helps keep the colors neat and separated so your fudge looks just as magical as it tastes.

What can I use if I cannot find mini fudge stripe cookies?
You can use any small round cookie such as mini Oreos or chocolate wafers for the hat base.

This sweet lady just wanted to visit and chat with Andy and her sister, but was she really there? The Senior Living Picnic Ghost story is below!

 

 

Hey y’all! I’m working on a new series for the blog featuring YOUR ghost stories! I’ll be sharing my personal ghost stories as well as yours over the next few weeks as we lead up to Halloween and may even keep going all year! If you have a ghost story for me to share, send me an e-mail at angie@southernhalloweenqueen.com! 

 

My friend, Andy, has our first ghost story to tell! Let’s get to it! 

 

When I was little, my dad was working at a Senior Living and they often had parties for the residents. Fourth of July, Halloween, Christmas, Luau parties, you name it! My dad would sometimes ask if he could bring his family along to these parties because the residents loved having kids around. Well one year, he took us to a Luau party which took place in a courtyard outside of the senior living. There were fire dancers, hula dancers and so much food! My sister and I loved fruits so we got up to grab ourselves a plate of fruits. As with everything, we had to make line along with the residents to grab our plate.

 

While waiting for our plate, a senior lady (whom we assumed was a resident), approached us and started talking to us. She asked us if she could sit with us so my sister and I told her of course! She came with us to our table, same table where our dad, his co worker and his wife were also sitting. We ate our fruit and talked to the lady for a while, then she said she would go grab more food, stood up and left.

 

My dad asked my sister and I where we saw her and we told him we met her while grabbing food. He knew all the residents living at the senior living and hadn’t recognized her. When he asked his co worker if he knew who she was, he asked who he was referring to. Turns out my dad’s co worker never saw her. Even though she was sitting with us the whole time. My dad went around asking people if they knew who the lady was but no one remembered anyone that looked anything like the lady we had sat with.

 

A little while before I stopped working at that building. I was setting up for bingo night on the 3rd floor. There are two elevators. A service one (which housekeepers, servers, movers, etcetera, use) and a regular passenger one. For some reason or another i decided to use the service elevator. I walked in and immediately felt hot and suffocating. I was in the elevator for a good while but the doors didn’t close. I couldn’t take the feeling and the second I walked out the hot and suffocating feeling went away but then I felt so emotional. It was weird!

Don’t forget that if you have a ghost story for me to share, send me an e-mail at angie@southernhalloweenqueen.com
