PaleoThis tasty appetizer is commonly known, but my version is spooky for Halloween. Deviled eggs made to look like blood shot eyeballs! All you need are green olives, spices, eggs, and your favorite paleo 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!
Well, today’s spooky recipe round up is not suppose to scare you, although it might make you JUMP (into the kitchen). 😉
Today I have a fun round up of PALEO friendly Halloween snacks and treats! Erin (Texanerin) and Taylor (Food Faith Fit) had way too much fun putting this together. In fact, I’d say it was scary fun!
So sit back, try to relax, and right down all the recipes; because your next Halloween party just got more shockingly fun and HEALTHY). That’s a win win people!
Taylor from Food Faith Fitness made witch fingers. Coconut flour gives the classic witch fingers cookies a healthy, gluten free, paleo AND vegan makeover! They’re easy to make and always a hit at Halloween parties! Click here for the recipe —> Paleo Witch Fingers
Erin from Texanerin Baking made paleo bloody eyeball brownies which are frosted with a coconut butter based frosting and then topped with lychees and strawberry jam. The brownies are thick and chewy and make the perfect base for this quick and easy Halloween treat! Click here for the recipe —> Paleo Bloody Eyeball Brownies
And now there’s the savory spooky snack, my BLOOD SHOT DEVILED EGG EYE BALLS! Which actually is an old family favorite. Not the eyeball looking part, but the recipe it’s self. So don’t tell my great great grandma I let you in on the secret.
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.

This tasty appetizer is commonly known, but my version is spooky for Halloween. Deviled eggs made to look like blood shot eyeballs! All you need are green olives, spices, eggs, and your favorite paleo condiment to mix in! Deviled egg eyeballs a favorite with the kids (and adults) at Halloween parties but also easy to make and healthy!
Ingredients
- 6 eggs
- 1/4c to 1/3 cup paleo mayo (see notes for alternatives)
- 2 tsp pickle juice
- 1 tsp ground mustard
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- Green olives with pimentos
- Paprika for topping
Instructions
- First hard boil your eggs. Let them cool before peeling.
- Once peeled, slice your eggs vertically.
- Scoop out the yolk and place in a bowl.
- Mix in the rest of your ingredients, except the paprika and olives. The more mayo you use, the creamier. If you want it more thick, use only 1/4 cup amount.
- Taste and see if it’s salty enough, if not, add a dash more salt or pickle juice.
- Mix until smooth then scoop a 1/2 tbsp to 1 tbsp of 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, to look like the eye pupil.
- Sprinkle with paprika to make it look bloodshot.
- You can also use chili sauce if you prefer.
Notes
The paleo mayo recipe I use is this one –> http://paleoleap.com/paleo-mayonnaise/
You can also use cream cheese or a hummus if you don’t like mayo.
If you are making 12 dozen eggs, just double the recipe but add in the salt 1/4 tsp at a time and taste to make sure it’s not too salty.
So tell me, did your siblings taunt you as a kid?
Favorite Halloween snack or treat? Do you try to make a healthy version too?
If you need more paleo/grain free Halloween snack ideas, might I recommend these? Yes! My fav! Orange Chocolate Healthy Bites!

Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
October 7, 2015 at 4:09 AMThese 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. 😉
Cotter Crunch says
October 7, 2015 at 5:52 AMI’m all about the savory! although I am part german, so if you brought German chocolate, i’d eat that. 😉 or nutella

Erin @ The Almond Eater says

October 7, 2015 at 9:35 AMI’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 😆

Sam @ PancakeWarriors says
October 7, 2015 at 12:42 PMSeriously 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!!

Sarah says
October 7, 2015 at 12:48 PMThese 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!
Sarah says
October 7, 2015 at 4:14 PMBummed 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!
Shashi at RunninSrilankan says
October 7, 2015 at 1:06 PMI had so much fun just scrolling through these treats – so I can imagine the fun y’all had making them!
Heather@hungryforbalance says
October 7, 2015 at 2:10 PMIs 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.

Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
October 7, 2015 at 9:20 PMI 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.)
Julie | Small Green Kitchen says

My mind is blown.
Cotter Crunch says

Whitney @ To Live & Diet in L.A. says
October 8, 2015 at 3:43 PMAhhh 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 🙂
Nagi@RecipeTinEats says
