D and I were invited to a Halloween party on a recent Friday evening, starting at 6:30. Since I am supposed to work 'til 5:00, this was cutting it kinda close. We were also supposed to bring a "Halloween themed appetizer". Ummm....yeah. I went to the grocery store and wandered around for a while until I found this horrible/incredible product. For those times when you need a cheesecake but don't have the time to whip one up, just spread some of this stuff in a crust! It tastes pretty good too.
Went to the dollar store and bought 2 halloween plates and 2 color coordinated ice cream bowls with that scary liquid inside for freezing to keep the bowl's contents cold.
When I got home I opened a can of pumpkin we had in the cupboard and dumped about half of it into the cheesecake filling. Just enough so that you could taste it, but not so much that other ingredients needed to be involved. This helped cut the sweetness down a tiny bit and turned the whole thing a very lovely shade of light orange. Plopped that into the bowls and filled the plates up with graham cracker snacks shaped like bones (Scooby Snacks) and bugs. TaDa!!! It was embarrassingly easy, and yet was the hit of the party with everybody asking me what the recipe for the dip was.
It's a good thing.
