the best pumpkin in town

could you please pass the mustard?
I have been searching for a creative way to carve my Halloween pumpkin this year.  My sister posted this onto her Pinterest account and because I should give credit where credit is due, she found it on Rachel Ray.  (I am a Martha lover.  She is a Rachel Ray lover.  I do not love Rachel Ray at all, but I do love my sister and this pumpkin.) 

If I were to make this cheeseburger pumpkin I would need to purchase another pumpkin, as the one I have is tall and skinny.  I think you need a rounder one in order to realistically recreate a cheeseburger. 

She used Rice Krispie treats dyed brown for the burger, yellow Laffy Taffy for the cheese, green Fruit Roll-ups for the lettuce, and red Airheads or Sour Straws for the tomato.  She used white Good & Plenty for the seeds, but I like how roasted pumpkin seeds look on top - and they are free.

I am not sure I will actually make this, but I think it is worth mentioning.  This thing is pretty amazing - and a lot different from the old eyes, nose, mouth carved out with a candle stuck inside.
