Chef notes
- Use firm, fully chilled hard-boiled eggs for clean, neat halves. - Pipe the deviled egg filling with a star tip for a more decorative look. - Slice the black olives carefully to create even spider legs. - Assemble the bites shortly before serving so the crackers stay crisp. - Keep refrigerated until ready to serve, especially when preparing them ahead. - Arrange the spiders evenly on the platter for a polished Halloween presentation.
