A scary looking treat easily prepared for Halloween. These wickedly delicious deviled eggs with scary black spiders creeping on top are sure to be a real crowd pleaser for kids and grown-ups alike! We all know there’s nothing like a classic deviled egg anytime~ but they can be especially fun as a spooky treat for Halloween. A go to party appetizer that doubles as everyone’s favorite. Deviled eggs are ingenious, using hard boiled eggs~ already one of the world’s most perfect foods, you can elevate them worthy of any occasion. So that’s the treat~ the real trick is having a little patience dissecting the olives into spider legs. Trust me … you’ll get bitten! Happy Halloween! XO Denise
