You don’t need to be told that Halloween is just days away. We’ve been seeing orange, black and other Halloween-colored treats stocking store shelves since August.

Chances are, the kids have already carved their pumpkins and have them out on the porch. But why not get a pumpkin for yourself, cook it and scoop out the flesh – or simply go to the store and buy a can of pumpkin purée – and make a treat for yourself? Then you can sit back and take a break with a cold drink and a bite of mouthwatering pumpkin hummus to enjoy between trips to answer the door when the doorbell rings and you’re met with that age-old challenge: Trick or treat!

This hummus is absolutely delicious and offers a mild pumpkin flavor combined with the delicious savory taste of tahini.
