533. PUMPKIN FACE BACON DIP

makes 28 servings, 2 tablespoons each


1 jar (18 oz.) creamy peanut butter
1 cup raisins
1 package (2.8 oz.) bacon bits
2 medium carrots, finely shredded (about 1-1/2 cups)
3 slices bacon, cooked until slightly crisp
2 apple wedges
1 celery stick

Mix peanut butter, raisins and bacon pieces. Spoon onto large platter; spread with spatula or knife to resemble a pumpkin shape. Sprinkle with carrots to cover completely. Roll each bacon slice around a fork to make a curl. Place on top of peanut butter mixture along with additional raisins for the jack-o'-lantern's "eyes" and "nose." Add apple wedges for the "mouth" and a celery stick for the "stem." Serve with assorted cut-up vegetables and fruits, such as celery sticks, carrot sticks and apple wedges.
