These devil-face deviled eggs are easy Halloween appetizers that are ready in no time and require only a few ingredients. They store well in the fridge!
Peel eggs and halve them lengthwise. Use a spoon to remove the yolks and place them into a bowl. Add, mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Mash and mix everything until smooth.
Either pipe or spoon the mixture back into the egg whites. Place them all onto a serving plate/tray.
Now, cut chili peppers into over an inch (3 centimeters) long triangles. You will need 3 triangles per each egg half so 36 triangles in total (see note 2). Cut olives into thin slices. Cut 6 slices in half (for mouth) and 6 more slices into quarters (for eyebrows).
Assemble the devil faces: You will need 2 chili pepper triangles for devil’s horns. Under, place 2 olive eyebrows followed by mini candy eyes. Use 1 olive piece for mouth and finish it off with a chili pepper triangle for tongue. Repeat with the rest of them.
Enjoy!
Notes
You can use any mustard you like.
You will need about 2 red hot chili peppers. The easiest way to cut them into triangles is by slicing them in half, removing the seeds and each half can be cut into smaller rectangles. These are simply cut in half diagonally.
Make sure the olives you buy are not stuffed and have no pecks inside. You should be able to cut each olive into 3 slices. That way you will only need 4 olives for 12 deviled eggs. However, I added more just in case.
Keep them in the fridge before serving!
