Serve these smoothies with a green straw to resemble a pumpkin stem or garnish with a mint leaf.
 
Ingredients:
 
1 tablespoon semisweet chocolate chips
4 large clear plastic cups
3
six ounce containers of orange cream or harvest peach yogurt
1/4 cup frozen orange juice concentrate,
thawed
1 eleven ounce can of mandarin orange segments, chilled & drained
1 banana, sliced

 
Directions:

Melt the chocolate chips in small microwavable bowl on High for 1 minute, or until all the chips are completely melted.  
 
Spread the chocolate on the inside of each plastic cup
with the tip of a knife to resemble the eyes, nose, and mouth of a Jack O’ Lantern. Repeat for 3 more cups. It works best if you place the cup on its side when painting the face.
 
Refrigerate for 5 minutes or until the chocolate is set.
 
Place all the remaining ingredients
in a blender while the chocolate is setting, cover, and blend until smooth.
 
Pour the mixture into into the chocolate painted cups and serve.
