Ingredients:
1/2 C. butter, melted
1 1/2 C. peanut butter
1 (1 lb.) package powdered sugar, sifted
red and yellow food coloring (or orange)
1 small tube green decorator's icing

Ingredients: 1. Add red and yellow (or orange) food coloring to butter until it is a bright orange. Pour into a medium mixing bowl.

2. Add peanut butter and powdered sugar and stir well until combined. Should be the consistency of stiff dough.

3. Shape dough into about 15 small pumpkin-like balls. Using a toothpick, create ridges down each pumpkin.

4. Place pumpkins on waxed paper.

5. Using a tiny amount of green decorator's frosting (or make your own), add a little green stem to each pumpkin.

6. Refrigerate until firm, at least 1-2 hours.

7. Serve on their own, or use to decorate cakes and cupcakes-- cute and delicious!
