Or here's another stuffed egg recipe. If you like deviled eggs, you'll love these deviled eyeballs. This is one of those fun Halloween recipe ideas that's easy to make, tastes great, and looks terrific on your Halloween food table. You can adjust the amounts as desired-- this is a very flexible recipe, and you can add pretty much whatever you like.

OMG. I'd be afraid to serve the severed fingers to the kids. It would traumatize them for life.LOL Actually, with what kids watch on TV today, these probably wouldn't faze them at all. These were all great ideas.
