Steps:
- Punch out rounds from the bread using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter. Lay out the rounds on a baking sheet. Set aside.
- Add the ham, mayonnaise, honey, mustard, relish, Worcestershire and hot sauce in the bowl of a food processor. Sprinkle with salt and pulse until finely chopped, but still chunky. Spoon a tablespoon at a time of the ham mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roll each spoonful into round balls. Stuff 1 olive into the center of each ball for eyes. Lay the balls in the center of the bread rounds. Squirt ketchup around the edges of the bread to mimic veins. Serve to kids and pray they don't cry from how scary these are.

DEVILED EYEBALLS
Much easier than it looks, a fun twist on deviled eggs for Halloween. Using the long spiral pasta (fusilli col buco) you can rest them on a bed of brains. If you can't find the pasta, other short spiral pasta will do, it is needed to keep the eyeballs from sliding around.

Steps:
- Cover eggs with 1 inch of cold water, bring to a full boil for 1 minute, cover and remove from heat. Let stand 17 minutes. Rinse eggs in cold water.
- Gently tap each egg with a metal spoon in several places to crack the shell. The objective is NOT to break it, but to create small cracks for the bloodshot effect of the eyeballs. Place in pan ice water (just enough to cover them), add enough red food coloring to make the water a deep red. Let sit for 1-2 hours.
- Boil pasta according to directions with a few drops of red food coloring. Drain, rinse and place on platter.
- Crack and peel eggs, rinse.
- Cut eggs in half crosswise on a slight diagonal and remove yolks.
- Blend yolks with all remaining ingredients - you will want the mixture to be a bit stiff. Divide into batches and add food coloring as desired for different eye colors.
- using a melon baller or small ice scoop, place a scoop into each eye and top with an olive slice. Place on the brains!

Tips:
- Use fresh, hard-boiled eggs for the best results. Older eggs may be more difficult to peel and may have a chalky texture.
- To make peeling the eggs easier, place them in a bowl of ice water immediately after boiling. Let them cool for a few minutes, then peel under cold running water.
- If you are using store-bought hard-boiled eggs, be sure to check the expiration date before using them.
- To make the deviled egg filling, use a food processor or blender to combine the egg yolks, mayonnaise, mustard, vinegar, salt, and pepper. This will help to create a smooth and creamy filling.
- If you don't have a food processor or blender, you can mash the egg yolks with a fork until they are smooth. Then, stir in the remaining ingredients until combined.
- To make the "eyeball" garnish, use a small round cookie cutter to cut out circles from the whites of the eggs. Then, use a toothpick to make a small indentation in the center of each circle. Place a small piece of pimiento or olive in the indentation to create the "pupil."
- Serve the deviled eggs immediately or chill them for later. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Deviled eggs are a classic party appetizer that is always a hit with guests. They are easy to make and can be customized to fit any occasion. With a little creativity, you can create deviled eggs that are both delicious and visually appealing.
