Your Friends Will Never Know These 'Pumpkin Pies' Are Made Out of Cheese
In need of an April Fools' treat to stump your friends and family? Try out these easy pumpkin pie imposters. It's a new spin on your typical cheese platter, but they taste as good as they look.
Inspired by the mini-food trend, I thought it would be a fun idea to incorporate one of my favorite desserts into something savory. And with April 1st coming up, I know I will use these treats to fool anyone looking at them. The great thing about them is that they do not require any cooking, so it is easy to do in a short amount of time if you are still searching for that perfect joke.
