Instructions
Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits, and scoop the flesh into a large mixing bowl.

Taste the guacamole and adjust the seasoning with more lime juice or salt as needed.
Transfer the guacamole to a serving bowl. For a spooky presentation, use black olives to create 'spider shapes' on top of the guacamole (slice some olives in half for bodies and use thin strips for legs).
