We got a big pumpkin this year!!

We're entering Jerry and Ben's Halloween contest again!

First we had to cut a hole in the top of its' head.

And then we had to scoop all the brains out.

We scooped out some of the innards too....

Halloween treat

Today we had a special treat..... we used the chocolate skull melter from Fortnum and Mason!!

First we got a mug full of milk.....

And then got the chocolate skull out of the box....... oo-er, he's kinda scary!

Then we had to heat up the milk in a pan.

While Andrea was doing that, I got the chocolate skull into the mug.

Then we poured the milk into the mug and started swizzling the skull in it!!!

You can see the brains coming out!!!

Schlurp..... that's yumtastic!!!!
