There are lots and lots of sweet halloween treats and decorations available, but we recently hosted a halloweeny brunch and we needed some savory options. These bell pepper creations were super quick and easy to make, but had a big visual impact. They are pretty much as easy as they look!
For the pumpkins, carve the pumpkin faces before you cut open the pepper; if you cut it open first it will be less structurally sound and a little harder to carve. Once you have the faces complete, cut the top off and empty the insides. You can also put dip inside the pumpkins if you feel the urge.
The Kraken eye is a circle with an ellipse on either side. Again, carve the eye, then cut the top off and flip it upside down. It's hard to see from the picture but the Kraken is sitting in blue ranch dip (I just used a few drops of blue food coloring).
There you go; all ready for a spoooky brunch!
