\"Halloween<\/p>\n

Here at TOPS, we\u2019ve made a veggie skeleton, we\u2019ve made \u201ccandy corn\u201d by layering yellow and orange peppers with cauliflower on toothpicks, and now we\u2019re at it again. We bring you, the Halloween vegetable tray!<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re planning on heading to, or hosting, Halloween festivities this year make your veggie tray anything but ordinary in just a few simple steps:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Pick up Halloween or fall-themed cookie cutters at your local craft store. We used cookie cutters in the shape of a leaf and pumpkin for the tray pictured above.<\/li>\n
  2. Use the cutters on vegetables like bell peppers, cucumbers or zucchini.<\/li>\n
  3. Serve with red pepper hummus (for its orange hue) or your favorite dip.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It\u2019s that easy! You can save the leftover vegetable pieces for a salad, soup, or stew. Who says Halloween has to be all about the candy?<\/p>\n
