Peanut Butter Pumpkins image

Be a nut and putter your bumpkins. Have your own pumpkin patch right in your kitchen. After reading Melanie's helpful review, I thought it best to emphasize that you should add sugar to the dough until it is very stiff and leave it at that.

Time 40m

Yield 15 pumpkins

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups peanut butter
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar, sifted
red food coloring
yellow food coloring
green decorators icing

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.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but mine didn't turn out as good as the picture. They were still tasty, though.

These were easy to make and looked really cute, but the filling was a little runny.

I followed the recipe exactly and they turned out great! I used a mix of white and dark chocolate chips in the filling and it was delicious.

These peanut butter pumpkins were a delightful treat! They were easy to make and turned out perfectly. The peanut butter filling was rich and creamy, and the pumpkin shells were soft and chewy. I will definitely be making these again!
