Sinister Halloween Snacks

The Pumpkin Pie Bites Play Up on the Holiday Buzz

Bakerella's 'Pumpkin Pie Bites' build on the hype that continues to mount in anticipation of this year's Halloween. Cooking sites have plastered images of ghosts and monsters on to pies and cakes. Few however have delivered them in a miniature formation.

Pre-made pie crust lay the foundation for these Pumpkin Pie Bites. The dough is then stuffed with pumpkin filling, an ingredient sold at most grocery stores during the fall season. The puff pastries end up looking like small gourds, just like the festive carved ones that line streets and store fronts on October 31st.

Bakerella's author finished the treat with drizzles of melted chocolate, arranged in such a way as to replicate the appearance of smiling albeit haunting Halloween decor.
