As a
girl scout leader for many years and a homeroom parent for both of my
children I have planned many Halloween Parties. You will find some
great Halloween recipes for kid's parties
listed below.
HALLOWEEN
PARTY RECIPES
Pumpkin Veggie Tray
Things you need...
Large serving tray
Large bag of baby carrots
1 cucumber
1 head of broccoli
1 pkg veggie dip
Small bowls to be used for eyes and nose
How to make it...
Create an outline of your pumpkin with the carrots.
Once it is perfect carefully fill in the circle with the remainder of
the carrots. Remove enough of the carrots to make a smile and fill
it with cucumber slices. Set the carrots that you removed on top
of the other carrots within your pumpkin. Fill your small dishes
with veggie dip and shimmy them into place where you want the eyes and
nose to be located. Slice off the tops of the broccoli and place
it on top of your pumpkin to create a stem.

2 cups powdered sugar
1/4 cup butter, softened to room temperature
