These delicious Vampire Guacamole Cups make the perfect addition to any Halloween spread. They’re healthy, incredibly easy, perfectly portioned, and adorably spooky!
We love finding healthy and delicious food for a holiday that is famous for being the most unhealthy of them all! With all the candy and junk food kids get, it will actually be welcoming to have a little veggies for a snack on Halloween. Especially if it looks as cute and dip-able as these do!
One of my favorite things about this Halloween recipe is that it doesn’t require any fancy ingredients or kitchen skills. They are fast and easy to make, but so darn cute. And the guacamole is so flavorful too- these darling Draculas will have kids and adults swarming to the snack table.
If making these ahead of time, make the guacamole and smooth it into the avocado shells. Then, press a sheet of plastic wrap onto the guacamole. Prep the other ingredients and add it to the the guacamole cup just before serving.
Instead of string cheese rounds, you can also use a couple dollops of sour cream.
If you don’t have enough guacamole to fill your avocado halves, you can spread a layer of refried beans into the bottom of the shell before topping with guacamole. You can even add a thin layer of sour cream or greek yogurt mixed with taco seasonings for mini 7-layer dip cups!

Slice the avocados in half and remove the seeds. With a spoon, scoop out the avocado and add to a medium bowl. Mash with a fork until the consistency is how you like it. (if you like some texture, stop mashing when there are still small chunks of avocado)
Add lime juice, minced garlic, salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir everything together to combine. Taste and add more salt and lime juice if it seems like it needs a bit more flavor.
Spoon guacamole into the avocado shells and use a spoon to spread it evenly.
Slice string cheese into rounds. Cut small slivers from the bell pepper to resemble fangs.
Assemble your guacamole cups to look like vampires by breaking a small tip off the corner of a blue corn chip and placing it at the top of the cup. Add the cheese rounds and olives for the eyes, and finish by adding the bell pepper fangs. Arrange chips on the serving platter for your bat wings. Enjoy!
