Ingredients
- 12 hardboiled eggs cooked and peeled
- 8-10 cups of water depending on how big the bowls are
- Orange liquid food coloring
- Green liquid food coloring
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoon yellow mustard
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 40 black olives
Instructions
- Hard boil eggs by your preferred method and cool.
- Crack the eggshells just a bit – you can do this by tapping all over them with a spoon or rolling them on the counter. You want the shells to be cracked but not taken off the eggs.
- Pour the water into 2 bowls, add green food coloring to one bowl and orange food coloring to the other- be sure to add enough food coloring to change the color of the water.
- Place the eggs into the water, and then place the bowl of water and eggs into the fridge. Let the eggs sit in the water for at least 3 hours, I prefer to do it overnight for the best coloring.
- Remove the eggs from the water and dry them with a paper towel.
- Peel the shells from the eggs and dispose of the shells, set the eggs on a plate while peeling the rest of the eggs.
- Once all the eggs are peeled, using a sharp knife cut the hardboiled eggs in half lengthwise.
- Remove the egg yolks and place the yolks in a large bowl and set aside.
- Mash the Egg yolks with a fork.
- Add in the mayo, mustard, salt, and pepper and mix well until everything is combined and you have a smooth mixture.
- Place a star piping tip into a piping bag, pastry bag or ziptop bag and transfer the mixture to the bag.
- Arrange the egg white halves on a plate. Pipe the yolk mixture into the hole of the egg on the egg halves.
- Slice 12 olives in half and place half on them on top of the deviled egg mixture of each egg. These are the spider bodies.
- Slice the rest of the olives into thin pieces - these will be the spider legs and place 4 slices on either side of the olive half for the legs.
- Refrigerator until you are ready to serve.
