With Guacamole eyeballs, the only prep you will have to do is boil some eggs. That is all, yes! However, in case of store-bought guacamole isn’t your thing, you can, of course, instead make it yourself.

To assemble these, you must scoop out the yolks from the boiled eggs and scoop in the guac. Add some olives on top to make them look extra spooky!

Once completely dry, you can pipe a cute or spooky face with dark chocolate or even sprinkles. These cute little ghosts will be a hit for your movie night! 

31. Spider Cupcakes

Cupcakes will never fail to be a delicious snack for any occasion whatsoever. Especially on Halloween, when you get a full chance to enjoy all your sweet guilty pleasures!

33. Pumpkin Hand Pies

By now, you must have guessed that pumpkins are one of my favorite veggies to use on Halloween! Well, they are so versatile.
