This tasty appetizer is commonly known, but my version is spooky for Halloween. Deviled eggs made to look like bloodshot eyeballs! All you need are green olives, spices, eggs, and your favorite condiment to mix in! Deviled egg eyeballs a favorite with the kids (and adults) at Halloween parties but also easy to make and healthy!
Have I spooked you? Haha, I hope not! Well, unless it’s a good thing, because it’s SCARY how good these deviled egg eyeball appetizers and treats are. Okay, my puns are over, but stay with me till then end so I can share the recipe!
So, can I let you in on a secret? I love Halloween for the fun treats and parties, but the actual Holiday itself still scares me. Yep, I grew up with three older brothers who would taunt me with Freddy Krueger and Chucky the Killer doll sound effects. Needless to say, after the age of 10, I could not look at my dolls the same, nor could I keep the lights off in my room. 22 years later, I still have a closet light on. Come on, I know you’re the same. Haha!

How to Make Deviled Egg Eyeballs
This deviled egg recipe is actually an old family favorite recipe. Not the eyeball looking part, but the recipe itself. So don’t tell my great great grandma I let you in on the secret.
- Scoop out the yolk from cooked hard boiled eggs and place in a bowl.
- Mix in the rest of your ingredients, except the paprika and olives.
- Taste and see if it’s salty enough, if not, add a dash more salt or even pickle juice.
- Mix until smooth then spoon the egg yolk mix into your egg white halves.
- Smooth the the surface of the egg and then place the olive with the pimento sticking up. Now it will look like the eye pupil.
Fun right?
Protein packed and full of healthy fats, yes –> I’m going to trick you into eating healthy! Boo! And don’t worry, there’s another option for the paleo mayo if you aren’t a mayo person. The olives are a must though! Black or green will work.

Does candy corn count?? I really have grown out of it mostly – love the molasses & other flavors in cookie form!:)
OMG! Those fingers really creep me out!! I’m such a sook. 🙂 I love your devilled eggs though! They DON’T creep me out but are still in the spirit of Halloween – yay!!! 🙂
★★★★★
Ahhh these are SO cool!!! I LOVE deviled eggs and will take any excuse to make them!
My favorite Halloween treat growing up was Snickers bars. Now I like to make healthy Snickers flavored smoothies to satisfy those cravings 🙂
I LOVE green olives and I love deviled eggs and never thought of putting them together and then and THEN you swooped in and put pickle juice in there.
My mind is blown.
you’re gonna laugh, as soon as i typed pickle juice i thought of you!!
Spoooooky!
…I’m still afraid of the dark.
haha me too! <3
Oh man those look scary good! 🙂 I’ll be picking the pupils out of my eggy eyes since I’m not an olive fan, but can’t wait to bring these to a Halloween party this year!
bahaha, love it! It’s okay, we don’t need pupils anyway
Ha, what a beautiful fun recipe Lindsay! 🙂
So healthy and so easy too!
beautiful and kinda creepy, right? haha
These are all so creative and adorable!! Those fingers are almost too gross to eat- ha!
they look so real, right?
Eye will eat these eyes… EYE EYE! Although as I said, eggs – in small doses for me (as I reintroduce them into my life)… I would totally go over-board on these! LOL!
What a great collection, Lindsay! We love deviled eggs (especially my boyfriend) so I’ve gotta try the spooky deviled egg version stat! 🙂
I made those finger cookies for a halloween party I threw – no joke – 10 years ago. Wow, I am old.
Vegas loves deviled eggs. This may be her halloween treat this year! (As if I can keep her our of the peanut M&Ms.)
I love these! So simple, but so clever! I wish I had thought of them for my recent Halloween party. 🙂
Oh my goodness! I am all spooked out just looking at these, Lindsay! They all look so real!! Happy (early) Halloween!
haha thanks helen! i we didn’t scare you too much
Is it weird that I think these recipes are cute AND scary? But, really, they look amazing! And, I am a huge fan of deviled eggs (especially with the addition of the olives!!); we always make them for the holidays.
us too! we love all the eggs! and olives! haha
I had so much fun just scrolling through these treats – so I can imagine the fun y’all had making them!
These are too cute! I’m not big into Halloween other than putting together parties for the girls school class parties but this year Sammie is having a party and sleepover as she is getting older. I bet she will love these!
Bummed how did I not know she doesn’t like deviled eggs only hard boiled eggs. She said maybe we can just cut eggs in half and add the olive and powder. Haha!
Seriously how cute are these! I just love deviled eggs, i can’t keep my fingers off of them at parties! I need to make them at home more often!!
haha i know! so scary and REAL looking
So much fun! I’m not sure I could handle the fingers, kind of creeping me out, but all the yes to the eggs 🙂
So creative and fun! Halloween foods are my favorite after Thanksgiving and Christmas – there’s just so many fun things to make!
so yummy Lindsay! These are not only FUN, but I do love my eggs..so count me in on making them this halloween season 🙂
xo
The witch’s finger almost gave me a heart attack. ahahaha! Everything looks so cool.
I’m probably the biggest wimp there is, and I haven’t watched a scary movie in a good 10+ years because I can’t sleep well for WEEKS after seeing them. Scary treats I can do, though. I think 😆
These are such cute ideas!!!
My husband LOVES deviled eggs. Me… ummm not so much… But I don’t know why really… I should make these for him!
I am so obsessed with everything about this post!! So fun 🙂
these are so cute! I love deviled eggs, they are my favorite party appetizer!
Oh my gosh I love this entire round up! I think I’ve told you this but I’m not a huge deviled egg person. My stepdad is though, and I think he’d find these hilarious aaaaand delicious of course.
I seriously never thought I could love a deviled egg THIS much! These are just way too fun girl! Pinned!
I cannot watch any scary movies even now. They really freak me out. I don’t sleep and feel extremely on edge for days!
haha we can hide together
Pumpkin beer is paleo, gluten free, and healthy, right? RIGHT??
Cider is! I say go for that! 😉
HOW FUN!
These are so fun! I always forget about savory snacks when it comes time for parties. People get here and there are 9 types of sweets and that’s it. 😀 Totally saving this for next time! And I love the creepy side of Halloween, though I have to admit my brother never taunted me like yours did. 😉
I’m all about the savory! although I am part german, so if you brought German chocolate, i’d eat that. 😉 or nutella
Ooh this is awesome! I love all 3 recipes, although I might be partial to yours since you put olives o. Deviled eggs, which sounds perfect to me 🙂 and you know how I feel about Paleo mayo!
you know it! i need to try your mayo ASAP!
Lindsey – I love eggs so thanks for this recipe! I always want to attest to the greatness of Michele’s mayo 🙂
Well maybe I can bribe her to come make it for me
sorry for spelling your name wrong!
