It’s Halloween Season and we wanted to share some cute recipes that are perfect to frame the holiday.

Bell Pepper Pulled Chicken Pumpkins

This is so fun and easy… It literally takes three ingredients and takes 3 minutes to prep this recipe.  First, using your slow cooker put 4 to 5 boneless, skinless chicken breasts in the bottom. Pour a jar of thick chunky picante sauce over the chicken. You can use mild, medium or hot. Mix in a packet of taco seasoning (either store bought or you can make your own) Cook for 4 to 5 hours on low or 2 hours on high. Cut pumpkin faces in the peppers and you have a simple, fast and fun Halloween dinner for the kids.

• Mini Rolos or substitute mini Tootsie Rolls

• Green M&M’s

Directions:

Step 1: In a large saucepan, heat butter over low heat until melted. Add marshmallows, stirring occasionally until completely melted. Add food coloring and stir until orange is spread throughout.

Step 2: Remove from heat and stir in Rice Krispies cereal.

Step 3: Grease a bowl and pour mixture into bowl. Coat your hands or food-safe plastic gloves with nonstick cooking spray. Form pumpkin shapes using 2/3 cup of the mixture for each pumpkin. Roll and shape Tootsie Rolls to resemble stems. Add stems to pumpkins. Let stand 3 hours before serving.

Helpful Tip: Use 1/4 cup cooking oil in a small bowl to dip fingers in to keep the treats from sticking to your hands while making the pumpkin shape.
