All of my halloween guests loved these. They were calling me "Martha Stewert". I used the ideas from previous reviews and mixed velveeta and sharp cheddar. I also used wheat thins stixs for the stems and wheat ritz crackers as the base.

I loved this idea but couldn't find anything that I like as much as my own cheese spread so, I made my own cheese spread, used this idea... YUM!! Sat each pumpkin on a round vegetable thin cracker. Once again, YUM! Try mixing sharp cheddar with velveeta and a touch of horseradish, or bacon bits. Thanks for the cute idea! This can be used at Thanksgiving too!

Good hit at the office but heck if we could find the right cheese product. I ended up using regular chedder cheese spread, which I'm sure left some flavor to be desired. I was tempted to use a white chedder cheese spread for lumina pumpkins... but will get more creative next time.

These are easy to make if you use the cheese suggested. Definitely make them ahead of time, even the night before your party. The cheese can be overwhelming so make them small!

I just made these last weekend, when I had TWO parties to go to. I used velveeta-type cheese, in orange and white cheddar! This worked PERFECTLY. I just rolled it in my palms and used a knife to push the creases. The white cheese I used to make gourds in the same idea-vein! So I had little pumpkins AND little gourds. I ALSO changed the parsley to Marjoram which TOTALLY looked more like pumpkin vines. I put each pumpkin/gourd on a round thin wheat cracker AND I used cracker STICKS instead of pretzels for the stems. I put crumbled and whole walnuts on the platter too. It took about an hour to make two platters, about 36 pumpkins & gourds. This was the BIGGEST hit I've ever had at parties!
