Dunkin' Pumpkin Dippers

31 Fun Food Ideas for Fall- Idea #19

I think that these little pumpkin buckets are SO cute I have been racking my brain trying to find an excuse to use them, and today I found it!  I decided to make a tasty pumpkin dip.  It is light and creamy and super easy.

Pumpkin Dip

1 15 oz can pumpkin
1 package vanilla pudding mix
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice + 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 16 oz carton cool whip

Mix pumpkin, dry pudding powder and spices.  Mix in cool whip.  To prevent a messy situation trying to fit the dip into the pumpkins, I piped them in with a large tip.

Serve with cinnamon graham cracker sticks or apple.

NOTE: If your young {or old} 'Pumpkins' don't like pumpkin, replace pumpkin dip with the following:


ANOTHER NOTE: These pumpkins can be found just about anywhere, but if you have a hard time, check out a drug store like CVS or Walgreens.

Fruit Dip

1 8 oz package softened cream cheese
1 tsp vanilla
3-5 tbsp brown sugar (to your liking)
1 7 oz container marshmallow creme
1 16 oz carton cool whip

Blend vanilla and brown sugar with cream cheese, then add marshmallow creme and cool whip, mix just until smooth.  Pipe into pumpkins.

Serve with apples, pears or graham cracker sticks.
