This guide shows you how to prepare a simple guacamole base and use it to create fun, themed Halloween cups. By repurposing avocado shells as bowls and adding decorative toppings like beans, olives, peppers, and cheese, you can design characters such as a Nummy Mummy, Day of the Dead Mask, Funky Frankenstein, or Wicked Witch. The process involves mashing the avocado with lime juice and seasoning, filling the shells, and arranging the toppings to match your chosen theme. Serve with chips or veggies for a delicious and festive snack.
Ingredients
Directions
- Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Carefully scoop the green flesh out of the shells, making sure to keep the empty shells intact for later use.
- Place the scooped avocado meat into a resealable plastic bag along with the fresh lime juice. Seal the bag tightly and gently press and squish it with your hands until the mixture reaches a smooth, creamy consistency. Sprinkle in salt and pepper to taste.
- Transfer the seasoned avocado mixture back into the hollowed-out avocado shells, spreading it evenly to create a flat surface. Use a butter knife to smooth the top for a neat finish. Now, get creative with your decorations! You can transform these cups into a Nummy Mummy using a flour tortilla and black beans for eyes, a Day of the Dead Mask with black beans for nostrils, halved black olives for eyes, corn kernels for pupils and teeth, plus red and yellow bell peppers and cucumber slices for a colorful mosaic, a Funky Frankenstein with black beans for hair and mouth, halved black olives for eyes, corn kernels for pupils, and green bell pepper pieces for eyebrows and a nose, or a Wicked Witch featuring black beans for eyes, cheddar cheese shreds for hair, a blue tortilla chip for a hat, a tiny pickle for a nose, and a red bell pepper strip for a mouth. Serve your spooky creations alongside tortilla chips or fresh vegetable dippers for dipping.
