Prepare the hard-boiled eggs. Cool until you can handle them easily then use the back of a spoon to wack the shells and create cracks all over the eggs.

Take 3 separate glass bowls and fill with hot water to cover eggs (your will have 4 eggs per bowl). Add a lot of food coloring, each color in a separate bowl and whisk in until the water is deeply saturated. I start with about 1 full teaspoon of paste color. Lower 4 crackled eggs into each bowl. Allow to soak overnight, refrigerated.

Peel the eggs (and marvel at the awesome patterns)! Slice the hard boiled eggs in half lengthwise. Pop the egg yolks out into a bowl and place the egg whites on a serving platter, concave side up; set aside.

Add chopped bacon, bacon fat (if using), mayonnaise, mustard, few grinds of pepper and the 2 teaspoons of chives to the egg yolks. Mash with a fork or silicone spatula until smooth and all of the ingredients are well combined.

Use two spoons to scoop the egg yolk filling into the egg whites, mounding slightly. Top with pieces of chives. Your Shape of Water Deviled Eggs are ready to serve. You can refrigerate the eggs in an airtight container for up to 4 hours.
