Sprinkle with cinnamon, and serve with fresh apples slices, vanilla wafers or ginger snaps. Also, sometimes I like to add a little spider ring to the spook up my dip around Halloween. You can find them for a few dollars (here)!

Pumpkin Dip

Since 2011, this is the #1 highest traffic pin to my website. And for good reason -- this simple dessert is sure to please any crowd. It's the perfect app or dessert to bring to a party because it travels well, can sit out for a long period of time and there's no container to bring home (if you make it in a pumpkin)! I also love how light this dessert is. It's not super rich and even though it's definitely not the unhealthiest dessert, you can reduce the calories by using "light" coolwhip and serve with apple slices if you really want to behave.

Ingredients

15 oz can of pumpkin
5 oz box of instant vanilla pudding (just the powder, don’t make the pudding)

Note: consider sprinkling some mini spiders around your dessert for Halloween!
