Boo! You may be startled by how much these Halloween deviled eggs raise spirits at your next spooky gathering. Deviled eggs are usually wicked enough, but this time we are turning things on their head and magically transforming the egg whites into skulls. With a filling to die for\u2014a combination of egg yolks, mayonnaise, roasted red peppers, Dijon mustard, cider vinegar and spices\u2014these deviled eggs for Halloween offer a frighteningly delicious bite. Dipping the filled eggs in crushed corn chips gives them a creepy crunch.<\/p>\n
For a little extra scare, try some other devilishly good egg ideas<\/a>, like creating olive eyeballs or forming spider-shaped black olives for the top. These ghoulish details will have your guests howling with delight.<\/p>\n Cut the boiled, peeled eggs lengthwise in half. Remove the yolks, putting the whites aside.<\/p>\n In a small bowl, mash the yolks.<\/p>\n Stir in the mayonnaise, peppers, mustard, vinegar, paprika, salt and pepper until blended.<\/p>\n Using a small straw and a large straw, punch holes in each egg white to make a skull with eyes, a nose and a mouth. Spoon or pipe the yolk mixture into the egg whites without overfilling.<\/p>\n Place crushed chips in a shallow bowl. Dip the exposed yolk side of each egg into the chips. Refrigerate, covered, until serving. If desired, garnish the plate with whole corn chips.<\/p>\n Cover your deviled eggs for Halloween tightly or carefully place them in an airtight storage container, and refrigerate. We don’t recommend freezing these delightful bites; they don’t defrost well and can get watery.<\/p>\n These adorable little skull deviled eggs for Halloween can be eaten for up to four days when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They taste and look best around the two-day mark.<\/p>\n Yes! You can boil your eggs, create the skulls and make your yolk mixture the day before. But be sure to store each element separately in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them. Assemble your filling in the skulls and dip them in your corn chips when you’re ready to get spooky with your Halloween food of deviled eggs.<\/p>\n The best way to hard-boil an egg<\/a> is on the stovetop, but you can also use an oven, pressure cooker, slow cooker or air fryer. To keep it classic, let your eggs come to room temperature, set them in a saucepan and cover them entirely with water. Bring the eggs to a boil, then remove them from the heat and let them cook for 9 to 12 minutes. Submerge the eggs in an ice bath before peeling them to keep a greenish layer from forming between the yolk and the white.<\/p>\n Drinking straws are ideal for poking holes because they’re easy to find. Also, straws come in many sizes perfect for making the holes in the egg whites look like skulls, but you can easily improvise if you don’t have any straws. Try making holes with a round decorator tip. (We recommend tips #3 through #12.) You can also use the pointy end of a dial meat thermometer, a chopstick or a wooden skewer. If all else fails, a standard toothpick will work. Make sure it’s clean and food-safe no matter what tool you use.<\/p>\n Every Halloween party needs Halloween appetizers<\/a>, but watch out\u2014they may disappear before your eyes! How about some Frankensushi<\/a> or a Mummy-wrapped brie<\/a>? And no scary party is complete without some frighteningly delicious desserts<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Frighteningly easy and dreadfully delicious, Halloween deviled eggs may look like skulls but are more treat than trick!

Halloween Deviled Eggs Tips <\/h2>
What can I use to punch holes in the egg whites if I don\u2019t have a straw? <\/h3>Drinking straws are ideal because they\u2019re readily available and make holes the right size. But you can easily improvise if you don\u2019t have any on hand. Try making holes in the egg whites with a round decorator tip. (We recommend trying tips #3 through #12.) You can also use the pointy end of a dial meat thermometer, a wooden skewer or, if all else fails, a standard toothpick. No matter what tool you choose to use, make sure it\u2019s clean and food-safe. \r\n\r\n
What is the best way to hard-boil eggs? <\/h3>The most common way to hard boil eggs is in a saucepan<\/a> on the stovetop. But there are a few other easy methods<\/a> for hard-boiling that take advantage of common kitchen appliances, including the oven, electric pressure cooker, slow cooker and air fryer. Experiment to see which method works best for you. \r\n\r\n
What are some variations of this deviled egg recipe? <\/h3>The zippy filling in this recipe hits all the right notes, but feel free to use your favorite filling recipe. Or try one of these flavor variations<\/a>. Also, you can switch out the crushed corn chips with any flavor or type of chip you like.
How do I store these deviled eggs? <\/h3>Deviled eggs are some of the easiest appetizers to make in advance. You can store unpeeled hard-boiled eggs in the refrigerator for up to a week. You also can make the filling up to two days in advance, but you\u2019ll want to keep it separate from the egg whites until the day of your event. In the meantime, cover the halved whites with plastic wrap and store the yolk filling in a resealable zip-top bag, squeezing out as much air as possible. Once the deviled eggs are assembled, aim to eat them within 1-2 days for optimal freshness. <\/div>

How can I make Halloween skull deviled eggs my own?<\/h3>While the filling is delicious, what makes Halloween skull deviled eggs special is the egg whites. So, feel free to use the filling of your favorite deviled egg recipe<\/a> to make yours. Otherwise, follow the recipe and replace the mayo with Greek yogurt to lighten up the filling a bit. For more flavor, swap in your choice of chip for the corn chips. (I think Doritos could be a good choice!)
Can I make Halloween deviled eggs ahead of time?<\/h3>Deviled eggs are best served soon after assembling, but you can keep them covered in the fridge for an hour or so\u2014just hold off on dipping the eggs in the crushed chips until right before serving. If you need to make them 1 to 2 days in advance, it's best to store the filling separately from the egg whites until closer to party time.
What other kinds of Halloween deviled eggs can I make?<\/h3>There are plenty of different Halloween deviled eggs to make come October. Goblin eyeball deviled eggs<\/a> feature pimento-stuffed olives. You can put black olives to use by turning them into \"spiders\"\u2014simply cut up olive halves into makeshift legs. Or, make your eggs look like pumpkins by dyeing the filling orange and adding a fresh herb sprig for the pumpkin stem. Don't be afraid to get creative! Here are more Halloween appetizers<\/a> to serve with your Halloween skull deviled eggs.
