Typical Halloween Spider Deviled Eggs look something like this (above), with black or kalamata olives. Cute, but how about …

Here’s how to do it:

1. Quickly make an albino black widow spider out of a hard-boiled egg, a pearl onion, capers, and a button mushroom, then cut an hourglass shape into a piece of paper and sprinkle paprika through it onto the spider’s back. (~45 seconds.)

2. Cut it in half.

3. Mash up the yolks with whatever you normally like to make deviled eggs with. (Kimchee! Not pictured.)

4. Fill the spider.

5. Put her top back on.

6. Repeat 36 times, or for however many guests you’re entertaining. No problem! Place around your house in unexpected spots.
