Ghostly Treats

Ghostly Treats

Who says all the Halloween treats that you make need to be elaborate or out of this world?

It can be as simple as using a cookie cutter or a knife and cutting a SpOoKy GhOsT out of a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich with some raisins on top.

If a ghost doesn't strike your fancy try a bat, pumpkin, scary cat, spider or a headstone.

A fast and fun treat we are sure your child will enjoy!

Pumpkin Pie Squares

Pumpkin Pie Squares

1/2 cup Butter, softened
1/2 cup Brown Sugar
1 cup All-Purpose Flour
1/2 cup Rolled Oats
2 Eggs
3/4 cup Sugar
1 ~ 15oz can Pumpkin
1 ~ 12 oz can Evaporated Milk
1/2 tsp Salt
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Ground Ginger
1/4 tsp Ground Cloves

♥ Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

♥ In a medium bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar.

Mix in flour. Fold in the oats.

♥ Bake the crust in the oven for 15 minutes, until set.

♥ In a large bowl, beat the eggs with the white sugar.

Beat in the pumpkin and evaporated milk.

♥ Mix in the salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves.

Pour the mixture over the baked crust.

♥ Bake in a preheated oven for 20 minutes, until set.

♥ Let the pie cool before cutting into squares.

Hint:
Make this recipe the night before you want to serve it.
Cool the squares, cover it with Saran Wrap and I cut it into squares the next day.
The squares come out of the pan with a very nice cut edge with this process.

If you don't like the idea of the oatmeal try using the same measurement with a ground graham crackers.
