Steps:
- Melt butter in a large bowl and add a few drops of yellow and red food coloring, until mixture has a nice orange color.
- Add the peanut butter and confectioners sugar and mix together until a doughlike consistency is reached. (This means that when the dough is nice and stiff and it gets hard to add any more sugar, to let it go at that).
- Shape dough into small balls shaped like pumpkins; make ridges on the pumpkins with a toothpick.
- Add a small amount of green decorators icing to the top of each pumpkin for a stem.
- Refrigerate, if desired, to allow pumpkins to firm.
- Serve on a plate lined with toasted coconut and Halloween decorated cookies, if desired; these also look good on top of cupcakes.

Tips:
- Choose sugar pumpkins or pie pumpkins over regular pumpkins, as their sweeter taste and smaller size make them perfect for this recipe.
- It is important to scoop out all the stringy pumpkin guts to avoid a watery filling.
- For smoother filling, puree pumpkin mixture until velvety smooth.
- Use all-purpose flour and baking powder for a soft, cake-like crust.
- Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer chocolate flavor.
- Use natural peanut butter rather than sweetened or reduced fat, as it will yield superior flavor and texture in the filling.
- Do not overmix the filling to avoid a tough texture.
- Chill the dough before rolling out to make it easier to work with and prevent shrinking.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the dough and pumpkin mixture into even pieces.
- For a more flavorful crust, use brown sugar instead of granulated sugar.
