I meant to say dip them in caramel sauce. But thanks! I just got here and I'll have to read through the rest of the meeting to see what I missed!

My kids and their friends love making these around Halloween. Of course an adult would need to do any of the cutting, but the rest can be done by the kids.

That's pretty fun! I don't think my daughters would want to eat a spider though! Maybe they could come up with some other type of animal or bug. Maybe a butterfly with apple slices? I don't know. I'll have to give it a shot sometime! Thank you!

Another thing you can do is take just plain tortilla shells, take a pumpkin cookie cutter to it, and let them decorate it with fruit. They like that, too. Kids are fun. And messy. And sometimes gross. But mostly fun.

I've made these pumpkin custard ghosts for a halloween party before

They're not the quickest thing to make but they sure are cute.

I had found the recipe online here

Instead of the topping I used whipped cream in a can and chocolate chips for the eyes.

Anything pumpkiny is fine with me. I just made pumpkin roll last week, and before that there was pie. I currently have one pie pumpkin and two sweet dumpling squash sitting on my table waiting for me to make something with them.

Yes ma'am! Just read back through the thread!

And on top of that, because there were still two gift cards left over after last night's meeting, check out the Supplement thread to contribute pictures and recipes of your creations, and maybe even win one of the GCs!
