Halloween is usually a very sweet event but I love Halloween savoury food. I looked at my menu and realised that I had a disproportionate amount of sweet items versus savoury items so I decided to do this to balance the savoury quotient. These can very easily be done with bought dips. Yumi's makes a really good spicy pumpkin dip and you can buy any pale yogurt based spread for the ghosts. Plus I like the idea of getting an additional use out of cookie cutters that only get used once every 1 or 2 years.

600g/1.3lbs pumpkin, roasted (I roast it whole in a 180c/350F oven for an hour and then peel the skin off and scoop out the seeds)
1 tablespoon tahini
1 tablespoon mayonnaise
1/4 cup chives
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 teaspoons sugar
a few drops of Tabasco sauce
1 loaf of grain bread
Pumpkin cookie cutter
2 tablespoons basil pesto
Step 1 - Blend all ingredients (except for bread and cookie cutter ;) ) until very, very smooth.
Step 2 - Cut out pumpkin shapes with bread (reserve the rest of the bread for breadcrumbs) and spread with pumpkin dip. Spread a tiny bit of basil pesto for the stem of the pumpkin.
