Recipe Tips

How to DecorateBreak pretzels into small pieces. Cut orange gumdrops in half; flatten slightly. Flatten green gumdrops; cut into thin strips. Use pretzel pieces for the pumpkin stems, orange gumdrop pieces for the leaves, and green gumdrop pieces for the tendrils.
How to Easily Crush the GrahamsProcess grahams in food processor or blender until finely crushed. Or, place in large resealable plastic bag; seal bag, removing most of the air. Use rolling pin to crush the grahams.
