Create a carrot pumpkin with veggie dip eyes and a cucumber smile, then whip up pepperoni-faced mini pizzas and a creepy snack mix with spooky names. All recipes use simple ingredients and are perfect for Halloween gatherings.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Arrange a few baby carrots into a rough oval shape to form the pumpkin's outline. Then fill the center completely with the remaining carrots.
  2. Take out some carrots from the center to create a space for the mouth. Stack those removed carrots on top of the others to add height.
  3. Lay halved cucumber slices into that gap to form a spooky grin.
  4. Spoon your veggie dip into small bowls and nestle them into the carrot arrangement for the eyes and nose.
  5. Cut the stem from the broccoli crown and set the broccoli on top of the carrot pumpkin as the stem.
  6. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Split the English muffins into 12 halves and lay them on a dry baking sheet. Top each half with as much pizza sauce as you like, then scatter mozzarella over the sauce. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until the cheese is mostly melted.
  7. While those bake, cut each pepperoni slice into four pieces, then trim away the rounded edge from each quarter to leave a triangle shape.
  8. Take the English muffins out and arrange the pepperoni triangles onto each to make eyes and a nose. Use the leftover curved pepperoni scraps to fashion a zigzag mouth.
  9. Put them back in the oven for another 7 to 10 minutes, until they are hot and bubbly.
  10. Toss all the listed snack ingredients into a big bowl and stir them together.
  11. Transfer the mix to an airtight container. Tape a list of the spooky-named ingredients to the container, writing it in a shaky hand or a creepy font for effect.
