Celebrating Halloween? Make these Funny Monsters Pumpkin Bread Rolls! They are a quick and easy treat made from Hawaiian sweet dinner rolls, filled with a creamy pumpkin spice spread, and topped with candy melts and Halloween candies. Your kid will thank you! 

Are you ready for Halloween? I am getting all excited! It’s one of my kids’ fave celebrations — and we don’t just buy candies. We make treats! 🙂 

This year I made these Pumpkin Bread Rolls — an easy Halloween themed food that can be prepared in 25 minutes, saving you time in the kitchen to party with your kids. 

HOW TO MAKE FUNNY MONSTERS PUMPKIN BREAD ROLLS

Cut roll in half; reserve.

Then, place cream cheese, pumpkin spice and puree, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl. Beat until combined and smooth. Pipe onto each dinner roll.

Top filling with a few gummy worms. Cover filling with the top half of the roll.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt candy melts according to the package instructions. Spoon onto rolls and place candy eyes on top while still unset. 

Let sit for about 5 minutes until candy melts set. Serve and enjoy!

ABOUT KING’S HAWAIIAN ORIGINAL DINNER ROLLS 

These mildly sweet dinner rolls have a soft, fluffy, melt-in-your-mouth texture. I love how versatile they are. They are perfect at any mealtime, and really shine in a range of both sweet and savory recipes… everything from sliders and kid-friendly snacks to sweet treats like bread pudding, French toast, or our Halloween Pumpkin Bread Rolls.

They allow our creativity to shine through unique, exciting recipes… and are conveniently available in the Walmart bread aisle. Shop and make our Halloween treat in a blink of an eye! 😉

COOK’S NOTES FOR HALLOWEEN PUMPKIN BREAD ROLLS

• Once candy melts set, store these Pumpkin Bread Rolls wrapped in parchment paper or in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. 
• Let sit at room temp before serving — so rolls can soften. 
• If you don’t have pumpkin puree at home, you can skip it and use only pumpkin pie spice to flavor the cream cheese spread.
• You can either pipe the pumpkin filling or spoon it onto the bottom face of the roll.
• You can also sub honey or any sweetener of your choice for brown sugar. 
• If you don’t have candy melts, use melted white chocolate mixed with food coloring. 

NO-BRAINER HALLOWEEN PARTY IDEAS

Set up a table, indoor or outdoors, with a disposable tablecloth and serveware. Use your favorite Halloween decorations.

Since on Halloween you can be anything you want to, I enjoy having e a variety of treats that resemble a monster party –e.g. these funny monsters, witches, ghosts, jack-o-lantern, etc.

Buy some candies, but also make some quick and easy treats that kids will love. Make alcohol-free potion drinks! Kids go cuckoo crazy for them!
