Pumpkin Shaped Deviled Eggs are a fun, festive twist on the classic deviled egg, making them the perfect Halloween appetizer. These adorable little bites are shaped like pumpkins, complete with a garnish that gives them a cute and spooky vibe. With their creamy filling, subtle spices, and eye-catching presentation, these deviled eggs are sure to be a hit at any Halloween party or fall gathering.
The base of the deviled egg is the same as traditional deviled eggs – hard-boiled eggs halved and filled with a creamy mixture of egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, and seasoning. To create the pumpkin shape, the egg whites are scooped out in such a way that they resemble little pumpkin bodies. The creamy yolk mixture is then piped back into the hollowed-out egg whites and shaped to resemble a pumpkin. To add texture and color, you can use paprika for the pumpkin’s “lines” and a sprig of parsley, dill, or chive as the “stem” of the pumpkin.
The pumpkin shape gives these deviled eggs a playful touch while still keeping the familiar, rich taste of deviled eggs. The creamy filling contrasts with the slight crunch of the egg whites, and the mustard and spices provide a tangy kick that complements the mildness of the eggs. You can also customize the flavor by adding extras like pickle relish, hot sauce, or crumbled bacon to the filling for an extra layer of taste.
These pumpkin-shaped deviled eggs are visually striking and add a touch of whimsy to your Halloween spread. Not only are they perfect for a spooky party, but they also make for a unique and festive snack for fall gatherings or potlucks. The bite-sized portions make them easy to grab and go, and they’re sure to be a crowd-pleaser for both kids and adults alike.
Whether you’re hosting a Halloween bash, a fall brunch, or just looking to get into the seasonal spirit, Pumpkin Shaped Deviled Eggs are a fun, delicious way to celebrate the holiday. They’re simple to make, easy to customize, and the perfect mix of savory flavor and spooky charm.

These are so cute! Perfect for my Halloween party. Can’t wait to make them!
I’m so glad you think they’re cute! They will be a hit at your party! 🎃
Yum!! Everyone at the party loved these, even the kids! 🍽️
Glad to hear that! They look so cute! 🎃
I bet the kids just ate the chives, haha! Not sure about these… eggs in a party? Really?
Made these for a potluck and they were a hit! Everyone loved how they looked. The chives really do make them pop!
I didn’t quite get the pumpkin shape right, but they tasted great! Maybe I need more practice?
Don’t worry about the shape! As long as they taste good, that’s what matters! Practice makes perfect! 🍳
Eggs xD lol. That’s a lot of work for something no one eats :p
I think they’re cute! Deviled eggs are always a hit at parties. 🍴
Are deviled eggs supposed to be cold? I prefer mine warm but I guess these are fancy or whatever.
I think deviled eggs are overrated. Why not just boil the eggs?
I get where you’re coming from, but deviled eggs have their own charm! The flavors blend so well together. Plus, they look adorable! 🎃
Boiled eggs are cool, but they ain’t fancy like this recipe. Pumpkin-shaped…sounds fun! Why not give it a try?
Yum! The paprika adds such a great flavor. Will definitely make these again!
These are so cute! Perfect for my Halloween party. Thanks for sharing! 🎃
My kids didn’t eat them, they said they looked weird. I’m not sure if I’ll make them again.
Tried making these and they ended up looking like blobs. But they tasted good! 😅
This is a dumb recipe. Who wants pumpkin shaped eggs? Eggs are eggs, they don’t need a gimmick.
I think it’s cute! Halloween can be fun with unique recipes like this. Give it a try!
These are adorable! Perfect for Halloween parties! 🎃
Very nice! The chive stems were a cute touch. Will make again.
I dont get why you need so many ingredients for deviled eggs? Just seems too much for a simple recipe.
Just okay. I feel like they could use more flavor. Didn’t taste much of the mustard or paprika.
Yum! These were a hit at my potluck! Everyone kept asking for the recipe!
I followed the recipe exactly, but they didn’t look like pumpkins at all. Disappointing!
How do you guys get them to look so pumpkin-y? Mine just look like regular eggs. Help!
Yolk mix was too tangy for my taste. Maybe less mustard next time?
Tangy?! I thought they were just right. Maybe you put too much vinegar? 👀
I agree, the mustard can be strong! You could try mayo instead of mustard next time.
My kids loved these! They thought they were mini pumpkins. So fun!
Are you sure kids will really like them? They gotta be picky with eggs, right? 🤔
That sounds adorable! Can’t wait to try these for Halloween! 🎃
Followed this recipe exactly and they turned out AMAZING! Delicious and adorable.
Tried this and didn’t have chives, so I used parsley instead. Still turned out great!
Glad to hear it turned out great with parsley! Sometimes you gotta improvise. Can’t wait to try it myself!
Meh, didn’t impress my friends. I think they preferred regular deviled eggs.
Too much mayo for my taste. Next time I’ll use less. 🤷♂️
Less mayo? Nah, I love it creamy! But to each their own, I guess. 🤷♀️
I kinda agree! Mayo can be overpowering. But maybe try Greek yogurt instead? 👌
Sounds easy, but don’t eggs need to be cooked longer? My friend says they do.
Super simple and fun! I didn’t have chives but used parsley, still came out good! 🥚
I mean, they look nice but my kids are super picky eaters. They just wouldn’t touch them… 🙁
Kinda weird to make eggs look like pumpkins… but ok. Who came up with this lol.
I dunno, this seems kinda ridiculous. Are we really making eggs into pumpkins now? What’s next?
I think it’s a fun idea! It’s all about creativity in cooking, right? Give it a try!
Deviled eggs? Y didn’t u just say hard-boiled eggs? Boring. Idk why this is special.
They’re not just hard-boiled! It’s all about the presentation! These look cute for a party.
Boring? Nah! It’s a twist on a classic! You just gotta try them before judging!
These are sooo cute! Made them for a Halloween party and everyone loved them! 🎃
They look cute, but do they taste good? 🤔
I love them too! Perfect for Halloween 🎃. Glad everyone enjoyed!
