These Pumpkin Deviled Eggs are a clever Halloween twist on the classic party favorite. Traditional deviled egg filling is tinted orange with paprika (or food coloring) and piped into halved egg whites to resemble plump little pumpkins. A small piece of chive or green onion serves as the “stem,” completing the pumpkin look. They’re creamy, savory, and adorable—perfect for Halloween gatherings, autumn potlucks, or Thanksgiving spreads. Easy to make ahead and always crowd-pleasing, these festive eggs balance holiday fun with timeless flavor.
