I love to recall my childhood memories of Halloween. To me, it was never about scary things--it was about the magic of whimsical costumes, carved pumpkins, neighborhood laughter, and the essence of fall. Many years have passed since I've been trick-or-treating, but I still get just as excited.

Helpful Egg Tips

• Gently tap warm eggs on kitchen counter immediately after cooking, cracking evenly over entire shell. Food color will seep into the cracks, forming a pattern on the whites that can be seen after peeling.
• Attach egg halves with stuffed sides facing each other so that yolk mixture is sandwiched between white.
