Last Minute Halloween - 5 second Pumpkin Meringues

Halloween baking can be scary, 

especially when you only have a few days left to do it!

I've got the quickest, easiest, cutest solution..

Pumpkin Meringues.
Oh, and did I mention there is actually no baking involved?

Store bought vanilla meringues,

with a quick spray of orange food coloring mist and 

a touch of green edible color marker, 

and presto...

So much fun to make and even better to eat...

5 fun no-carve pumpkins

Do you want to know the thing that scares me most at Halloween?

Carving pumpkins!

They never turn out how I envisioned,  it's messy, 

they rot and the squirrels treat them like a all day buffet when we put them on the porch.

I've got 5 fun ways to spice up your pumpkin patch finds 

and there will be no knives involved..

Ladies and gentlemen, Elvis has left the building and joined the Halloween party.
Make a PumpKING.

Hot out of the oven,

Keep things simple and sweet with
Succulent pumpkins

trix or treat

A Halloween Gift that's Short and Sweet, 

This year tell them Trix or Treat!

Silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids!

Pumpkin Pizzas

I have a confession, 

I can't resist buying those mini pumpkins at the grocery store.

They are so cute and inexpensive, I've got them all over the house.

But they are also the key ingredient in my infamous

Pumpkin Pizzas!

Fresh, cheesy and everyone can customize with their favorite toppings...

For this fun and simple recipe, 

you'll need mini-pumpkins, yellow spray paint, paint pens or permanent markers 

and a round "stencil" that is slightly smaller than the diameter of your pumpkins

(I used a jumbo paper punch and just made a hole in a piece of card stock)

Place stencil on top of pumpkin and apply a few light layers of spray paint, 

allowing to dry a few minutes after each layer.

Then your pizza is ready for toppings...

I add pepperoni...

black olives...

mushrooms and bell peppers and then

then make sure the crust is golden brown...

The perfect Fall Dinner is ready in no time...

Make them while they're hot!!

Pumpkin Patch Punch

My Pumpkin Patch Punch drink recipe, was created as part of a sponsored post for Socialstars.  
All opinions and Halloween fun are entirely my own. #SweetNLowStars

Finally, the air is cooler, the leaves are turning and it is almost time to Trick or Treat.

Everyone loves the Pumpkin Patch and a festive Fall beverage, 

this year, I am combining the two for the ultimate

Pumpkin Patch Punch!

Orange Juice...

and a touch of Pumpkin Pie Spice...

are sweetened with Sweet'N Low...

and all whisked together...

then topped with sparkling water and ice.

All the flavors of Fall served in mini-plastic pumpkins with a straw,

it doesn't get anymore fun than that...

Just look at those smiles...

And in case you are feeling a little "witchy",

a little sneaky of light rum or vodka blends in perfectly with  the punch...

Pumpkin Patch Punch

4 cups orange juice

1 teaspoon Pumpkin Pie Spice

4 packets of Sweet'N Low

4 cups cold sparkling water

ice

(and if you are feeling spirited - a touch of light rum or vodka)

In a punch bowl whisk together orange juice, spice and Sweet'N Low until combined.  Top with sparkling water and ice.  I purchased my mini pumpkins at a local crafts store.

I have had so much fun creating recipes with Sweet'N Low over the past few months.

It is a guilt free way to add sweetness and fun to anything.

Crowd Tap and Sweet'N Low would love to see your drink ideas.
They are hosting a recipe contest you do not want to miss out on.
You will find all of the details are here.

Thank you for your support as I continue to work with fabulous sponsors 

to keep creating for Jaco'lyn Murphy Designs.

Pumpkin Kisses

Every Halloween I do a silly pumpkin to put in my daughter's bathroom.

This year I decided to give her a big kiss...

I took a Target Dollar Aisle "Lip" gloss
and hot glued it right on...

Pucker Up,

it's almost Halloween...

Last year's Bathroom Pumpkin...

Forget Pumpkins,

In an effort to uphold my no carve pumpkin oath,
