Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon Orange food coloring
- 6 pieces Mini pretzel sticks
- 3 pieces Green gummy candy
Instructions
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter for 20-30 seconds until soft but not hot.
Mix the peanut butter and melted butter together until smooth and creamy.
Gradually add in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, mixing until a soft dough forms.
Roll about 1 tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into small balls to form the pumpkin shapes. Flatten the top slightly to resemble a pumpkin. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Add the orange food coloring to the melted white chocolate and mix until evenly colored.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted orange chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Break each mini pretzel stick in half and insert one half into the top center of each coated pumpkin to create a stem.
Cut the green gummy candies into small leaf shapes and press one leaf next to the pretzel stem on each pumpkin.
Allow the coated pumpkins to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, until firm.
Serve and enjoy your delightful Peanut Butter Pumpkins!
