Pumpkin Dip & Veggies "pumpkin" style

We had an ORANGE cookbook club - so here is a creative app idea for Halloween :)  AND a yummy pumpkin dip!!  For the Pumpkin face - just used carrots for the face, cucumbers for the mouth, veggie dip for the eyes/nose, and broccoli for the stem.



Ingredients:
8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
15 ounce can solid pack pumpkin
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 teaspoon frozen orange juice concentrate (we used premade orange juice and that worked just fine)

In a medium bowl, blend cream cheese and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Gradually mix in the pumpkin. Stir in the cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and orange juice until smooth and well blended. Chill until serving.

Serve with apple wedges or cinnamon graham crackers

Tip: Hollow out a small pumpkin and use it to serve the dip in!
