Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

ingredients
1 teaspoon water
4 drops yellow food coloring
1 1/2 cup flaked coconut
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
36 chocolate cream-filled chocolate sandwich cookies
36 Bugles corn snacks
4 cups vanilla or white baking chips
36 pretzel sticks
directions
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine water and food coloring. Add coconut. Seal bag and shake to tint coconut. Set aside.
In a microwave, melt chocolate chips, then stir until smooth.
For witches' hats, place about 1/3 cup chocolate mixture in a resealable plastic bag. Cut a small hole in a corner of bag. Pipe a small amount of chocolate on a cookie.
Dip a Bugle in some of the remaining chocolate, then allow excess to drip off. Position over chocolate on cookie, forming a witch's hat. Set on waxed paper to dry. Repeat with remaining chocolate, Bugles and cookies.
For puddles, in a microwave melt white chips for about 1 minute. Stir until smooth. Place mixture in a large heavy-duty resealable plastic bag and cut a small hole in a corner of bag.
Pipe mixture into the shape of a puddle onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Immediately place a witch's hat on the puddle. Place a pretzel stick alongside the hat, then sprinkle reserved tinted coconut at the end of the pretzel stick.
Repeat with remaining puddles, hats and brooms. Chill for 15 minutes or until set. Store in an airtight container.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
