Creepy Ghost Hard Boiled Eggs Snacks For Halloween
I wasn’t kidding when I said these ghost hard boiled eggs are easy. If you can boil an egg, you can absolutely make these fun ghosts for Halloween, or just to nestle into a spooky lunchbox. The first time I made these it took me a bit longer, but that was because my eggs were runny. Turns out when you forget how longs the eggs have been in the water, they aren’t always cooked and they can make a big gloppy mess on your cutting board. Make sure you cook your eggs for a minimum of twelve minutes and you will be smooth sailing! 😉
Another thing that can make these eggs go even faster is to have an easy to peel shell. I wrote another post about How To Make Easy To Peel Hard Boiled Eggs as this is something I struggled with for a while. I got a little tired of crunching eggshells, and the tips in that post will help you to stop having crunchy bits in your eggs too.

Once your eggs are boiled all you need is a straw, a sharp knife and a carrot to make some spooky eyes. Because glowing eyes are part of the fun for this ghost. I’ve also made a quick video!
