Depending on how many cups of seeds you have — one large pumpkin will generally yield 1 cup of seeds, and smaller pie pumpkins will yield about the same amount.

Dark Chocolate Ice Cream with Caramelized Almonds and Toasted Marshmallows
I like to think this is a more sophisticated version of Rocky Road ice cream. The caramelized almonds are really delicious and would make a good topping on any ice cream flavor. And everyone knows toasted marshmallows are much better than plain!
French Chocolate Buttercream
This is a very delicate, all butter, chocolate buttercream icing. My husband, who is not a sweets eater, requests this icing on an orange cake each year for his birthday. Try it and you won't be disappointed. Be sure the chocolate is cooled or you will end up with a sauce instead of an icing.
