- Let your cauldron boil over with tasty treats from Mr. Food(R)
that are perfect for Halloween parties and other fall get-togethers.
It's easier than a witch's brew and tastier, too!
Have a frighteningly
good time when your hungry little "monsters" help you
make some special Halloween treats using Mrs. Smith's Pumpkin
Pie. With a few simple tricks and some added treats, you can
use Mrs. Smith's Pumpkin pies to create jack-o'-lantern faces,
ghosts and goblins for the whole family. "OOH IT'S SO GOOD!!(R)"
"Kids
love helping you in the kitchen and it doesn't have to be a scary
experience. With just a few ingredients and no fussing, you and
your kiddies can make a ready-to-bake pumpkin pie into your family's
own creepy creation," said Mr. Food, the popular TV chef
who appears in cooking segments nationwide.
Mrs. Smith's
Pumpkin pies come in three varieties: Special Recipe Homemade
Pumpkin, Hearty Pumpkin or Pumpkin Custard. These "to die
for" treats will surely be a favorite for the young or the
young at heart.
Halloween is
a really big party time, so Mrs. Smith's has come up with some
fun ideas for turning a pumpkin pie into favorites that your
gang will be "goblin" up in no time -- and each starts
simply with a Mrs. Smith's Pumpkin Pie (any variety) baked according
to the package directions and cooled.
Jack-O'-Lantern
Pumpkin Pie:
With a paring knife, carve out a jack-o'-lantern face from the
pie, removing the cutouts (these are a great bonus for the carvers).
Mix whipped topping with a drop or two of yellow food color and
spoon into a plastic storage bag with a corner snipped off. Squeeze
the mixture into the cut-out areas so that, with its yellow glow,
your edible jack-o'-lantern looks illuminated from inside! Place
a miniature candy bar at the top to create the look of a stem
for a realistic finishing touch.
Goblin's
Delights:
Grab your Halloween cookie cutters and cut ghost and goblin shapes
out of the pie, pushing firmly to cut through the crust. Cover
the shapes completely with hardshell ice cream topping, such
as Magic Shell. Decorate with candy corn, black licorice, and
your favorite candies, using prepared chocolate frosting as the
"glue."
Pumpkin
Ghosts:
Cut pie into eight wedges and frost all the way around and the
top of each wedge with whipped topping. With the top as the point
of the ghosts' heads, use M&M's and candy corn to make fun
ghostly faces.
