5. Fill the egg whites⁚ Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill the egg whites with the yolk mixture. You can use a piping bag for a more professional and even look.
6. Decorate⁚ Get creative with your decorations! Add edible eyes for a spooky look, sprinkle black pepper over the top to resemble cobwebs, or use a toothpick to create spiderweb patterns in the yolk mixture.
7. Chill and serve⁚ Refrigerate the deviled eggs for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve them on a platter with your favorite Halloween decorations.
