This post is brought to you by Avocados from Mexico. All opinions are 100% mine.

These deviled eyeballs look so creepy and cool!  I seriously love deviled eggs, avocados and olives.  I think these will be the perfect appetizer for a Halloween party.  

Here’s the recipe.  

Ingredients

8 hard boiled eggs

2 ripe avocados, halved pitted, peeled and diced

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 tablespoon grated horseradish, drained

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon ground or cracked black pepper

1/8 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

For creepy red eyes:

Roasted red peppers

Black olives

Directions

Peel eggs. Cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks to medium bowl and arrange whites on serving platter. Add avocados and lemon juice to bowl with yolks, and mash until smooth, mixing well. Stir in horseradish, salt and peppers. Fill egg white halves with heaping tablespoon of mixture, piling high; sprinkle with herbs, if desired.To make devilish eyes: Thinly slice roasted red peppers to create veins on eyeballs. Top with sliced black olives.
