Puking Pumpkin Dessert Dip

This Puking Pumpkin Dessert Dip may be gross to look at, but your Halloween party guests are going to go crazy for this disgustingly delicious sweet treat...

Okay, so I will be the first to admit it- this dessert dip looks gross, folks. But no worries because it also happens to be deliciously gross! And it is for Halloween. 

I mean, on what other day of the year can you get away with making a dessert dip that looks like vomit and actually impress your party guests- am I right? ;) 






I actually made this dip for my parents' costume party last Halloween. At first, the adults were a little hesitant to dig right in. But after they tried it, this dip disappeared pretty quickly. 

And the kiddos at the party immediately loved it & thought it was the best thing ever right from the get-go! (Shocking, huh?)






This dessert dip comes together pretty quickly- in less than 10 minutes. 

The carving of the pumpkin can take a little more time, but it is still pretty easy. I picked up a smallish medium white pumpkin (like the Cinderella variety) and had it scooped out and carved in about 15 minutes. 

You can totally use an orange pumpkin for this if you can't find a white one, but I just love how the paleness of this pumpkin worked so well with the theme of the dip. ;)

If you happen to have a kiddo in your house (or even a grandchild or niece or nephew) under the age of five, then you probably already know all about Disney Junior, am I right? I have to admit that Little Miss has more or less grown up watching it. Not in the sense that I have just plopped her down in front of the television since birth & let Mickey, Sophia, Doc, & Jake raise her for me. But most days we just leave it on Disney Junior as we go about our day whether we are actually watching it or not. In fact, I oftentimes forget that it is still on hours after I have dropped my little one off at preschool for the morning. (Now I know I am not the only parent who has done this. ;) )

One of her favorite shows on Disney Junior has always been Jake and the Neverland Pirates. For those of you not familiar with the show, Jake & his band of pint sized pirates (aka, Cubby & Izzy) spend their days in Neverland committing good deeds, collecting gold doubloons for their team treasure chest (which they earn from the aforementioned good deeds & for completing challenges), and foiling the sneaky plans of Captain Hook and his band of bungling pirates. And yes, every once in a while Peter Pan himself and Tinkerbell make an appearance. This Oh Coconuts! Dip was created in honor of Cubby. Cubby is one part of the lovable pirate trio who is the keeper of the map of Neverland, has an affinity for collecting coconuts, and at times can be a little clumsy which results in him exclaiming, "Oh coconuts!" quite often during the show... :)

Each fall around Halloween, my parents have hosted a costume party for the family. This Halloween tradition actually started with my grandparents when I was kid. They would decorate their garage like a haunted house and everyone in the family would show up dressed up in their Halloween costumes and with a fun treat in hand. 

We always did it potluck style, and there were also lots of games for the kids to play and a costume contest for all in attendance. This is a tradition that my parents decided to take over some years back, and now we have a family style Halloween celebration each October in my my parents' garage. 

Every single year, I try to bring a different sweet treat to the party.  This year I am bringing this creamy and fun Trick or Treat Pumpkin Pie Dip. I combined some of our favorite candies from the kids' trick or treat bags with one of my favorite fall desserts- pumpkin pie. :) 

You just really cannot go wrong with this easy to make dessert dip for a fall family get-together, an office or school party, or just because you end up having more Halloween candy than you know what to do with...
