I love deviled eggs and these are just the perfect Halloween appetizers for any party that you might have. The taste of the eggs is not changed at all by the green dye and making the filling look like brains is really easy. I always use a piping bag anyway when I fill my deviled eggs (makes them look much neater) - this is just a new way to pipe them! Pick up some plastic eyeballs at the dollar store and place them on your serving platter for maximum creep-out factor!
The cheapest way to do this is with just an ordinary sandwich bag, but you can always use a cake decorating tip set and use one of the writing tips to pipe the filling in the to eggs (don't forget to get decorating bags as well!). This will look the best, but you have to be extra-careful to make your filling with NO lumps or the eggs will get clogged in the tip. If that happens, just stick a pin or toothpick in to the tip to loosen up the clot!
