Pumpkin Hamburgers
Having a grill out? Here’s the perfect idea to make those burgers a little more festive and exciting to eat. Take each slice of cheese, or your choice, and cut out two small triangles in the top corners for the eyes of the pumpkin.

Pumpkin Shaped Vegetable Tray
First, lay out the carrots on a tray in the shape of a pumpkin. Then choose your dip of choice and pour it in two square containers for the eyes. Place the square containers in the upper middle of the carrots. Then place another kind of dip, or the same kind of dip, in a triangle container for the nose of the pumpkin and place in below the two eyes. Slice up a cucumber into slices and then cut the slices in half. Place the half slices on the tray, assembling it to look like the mouth of the pumpkin. Finally, to add the finishing touch, place a bunch of broccoli at the top for the stem and you have yourself a lovely array of yummy vegetables to munch at the festivities!

Pumpkin Rice Crispy Treats
A little fun treat that everyone is sure to love are these cute little pumpkin rice crispy treats. They are simple to make, too! First just mix together the rice crispy recipe (marshmallows, butter, and rice crispy cereal) and then add orange food coloring. Then take a handful of the mixture and form it into a ball. Once you have used up all of the rice crispy mixture and have formed it all into balls, let it set out for a bit so it has time to harden. Once they are a little more firm, decorate the top with green frosting and place a Tootsie Roll or Rolo on the top (making it stick with frosting) in place for the stem! The final step it to devour it and enjoy!
