I didn't roll the crust as thin as the recipe states. I left it the thickness it was as packaged and it was perfect.

The flavor combination was perfect! Just like biting into a slice of pumpkin pie. I served it at our Halloween party and everyone who got to try it thought it was great! However, it's best to use two boxes of pie crust, as there's a lot of dip left over. This recipe is perfect to use all season long, but with different shapes.

I look forward to making this again.

The dip was yummy, but the cut-outs were too brittle. It was disappointing.

don't roll the pie crust out as thin as it says, or all of your tails and legs will break off when you remove them from the baking sheet. using non-stick foil or a greased baking pan would probably also help with this.

This is a great recipe!! Being the shortcut cook that I am, I used cinnamon graham crackers insteadof the pie crust. Not as fancy as cutting the pie crust into shapes, but it worked for us. The dip is so good you can just eat it with a spoon!

I haven't made this yet, but can see it will be delicious, like deconstructed pumpkin pie! I had to comment because you could easily change the cutout to a pumpkin or leaf shape with appropriate coloring and continue to use this GREAT idea well past Halloween! That's what I plan to do for our monthly "Wine Down" at my condo development, which will next fall after Halloween. Can't wait! You could also change the dip to a regular cream cheese-based dip of any of a variety of flavors and change the cutout shape and use this year-round! This is a keeper!
