I got this delicious recipe from the Kraft website. I made it for the Home Teachers tonight and they loved it! It’s a perfect thing to munch on while you’re carving your pumpkin for family home evening. It’s perfect because it calls for 1/4 C. Evaporated milk. This is my favorite time to use powdered milk for evaporated milk because normally if you used canned evaporated milk you would have left over evaporated milk which just gets put in the fridge until it goes bad. So, since we’re going to use powdered milk we’ll make just enough for the recipe.
Caramallow Dip-
4 cups Miniature Marshmallows
25 KRAFT Caramels (about 1/2 of 14-oz. bag)
1/4 cup evaporated milk (or 1-1/2 T. dry powdered milk + 1/4 C. Water)
Make It
MICROWAVE marshmallows, caramels and evaporated milk in large (not kidding…I would put a paper towel underneath the bowl, the mixture can get frothie) microwavable bowl on
HIGH 2 minutes; stir. Microwave 1 minute or until marshmallows are completely melted and mixture is well blended. Cool slightly.
SERVE warm as a dip.
Pumpkin Carving Family Home Evening Lesson  

This family home evening idea for pumpkin carving is so cute! I found it at a blog called Inspiration Organization.
Lesson: Because I am His child, I will serve God with all my heart, might, mind, and strength.
Scripture:(D&C 4:2). “Therefore, O ye that embark in the service of God, see that ye serve him with all your heart, might, mind and strength, that ye may stand blameless before God at the last day.”
This pumpkin is going to help us remember how we can better serve God.
I can open my mind so I can learn about Heavenly Father and his plan for me to return to him.(Cut the top of the pumpkin)
I can repent when I make a wrong choice.(Clean out the inside)
I can keep my eyes open for opportunities to serve others.(Cut the eyes out in shape of heart)
I can be a good friend to everyone and not turn up my nose to anyone.(Cut a nose)
I can open my ears so I can listen and learn.(Cut the ears)
I can open my mouth so I can share the gospel with the world.(Cut the mouth)
I can follow the Saviors example and let my light shine in all that I say and do.(Place a candle inside and light it)
Activity: It is no trick to treat others with kindness: Have small paper pumpkins cut. Family members can write acts of kindness they will do on each pumpkin.

Isn’t that just too cute! I love it. Have a great time tonight at your Family Home Evening!

  1. Hey for kicks if you ever have leftover evaporated milk dilute it 1:1 and put it into the half empty gallon of milk in your fridge. Nobody ever notices.
