Fun recipe. We made these into hearts for Valentine's Day - the red food coloring didn't work very well - I would've had to use a lot to make the hearts red. I melted some semi-sweet chocolate chips and 'iced' the hearts with it. These were a big hit at a winter retreat!

These are so good and so cute! Very easy to make and fun doing it. From young to old loved them. I used a tube of green icing to make the leaves and a tube of chocolate icing to make little stems on top. I never got a chance to put them on a plate with the coconut or refridgerate them. I was almost finished making them when everyone walked in and they are almost all gone. Great for any fall occasion, Halloween, Thanksgiving, class parties or just a great taste treat. I can't wait to make more and in different shapes and colors for other events and holidays. Super recipe, thanks for posting.

Instead of the frosting, I just put a single chocolate chip on top as the stem. You can never go wrong with a chocolate/peanut butter combo! Also, you can use the same recipe (minus the food coloring) and dip the balls into melted milk chocolate. Dip all but a small area on the top to make "Buckeyes" =)

These were SO easy!! I was a little afraid to try to make them, but they came out PERFECT! I used all but maybe 3/4 cup of the powdered sugar. They were a huge hit at our bake sale! I think it's important to know to use the side of the toothpick and not the actual tip to make the ridges...it took me a few tries to figure this out lol But the great thing is if you mess up you can just re roll and start that one over :) Thanks for this adorable recipe! Oh, with one recipe I got close to 30 pumpkins...I guess mine were smaller but they were golf ball sized!

these were good but hard to make!i couldn't get all of the sugar to mix in- and my arm hurts from all the stirring! i even employed my kitchenaid mixer, but even it had a hard time. i doubled the recipe, and only got about 24 oz of sugar into it, and that was even after adding some water to the mix.
they were a huge hit at a halloween party i went to. i will probably make them again, but maybe i'll wait till my husband is home so he can help me stir! :)
**update** i made this recipe again. this time, i only added as much sugar as i thought would work for me. i rolled the "dough" into balls, froze them, and then dipped them into melted white, milk, and dark chocolate. DELISH!

My son was sick today so no Preschool for him and his sister. But today was the Halloween party and they were sad. So I decided we'd have our own party today. I quickly looked up easy recipes to make. I found this one. I had limited ingredients and limited time, and had to cut the recipe into a third. Well, that little batch made a dozen sweet little pumpkins and two extremely happy kids! These taste like buckeyes without the chocolate coating. So delicious and easy to make, and plated on green tinted coconut made it extra special! Thank you!!

These were very good and easy to make! However, I used less powdered sugar (13 oz.) and decided to add in 6 finely crushed graham crackers to give a little more texture and crunch. Next time I may finely crush peanuts and add them for crunch instead, or just add more graham crackers. They're tasty for sure, though!

These were a Huge hit for Thanksgiving. I didn't use quite the whole bag of powdered sugar because it was getting hard to mix. Had to use a lot of food coloring to get a good orange color. I made them bite size so you can just pop them in your mouth. I got 54 balls out of the 1 recipe! Instead of using a toothpick to make ridges I used the back of my thinnest knife & sort of rocked it from the top of the pumpkin to the bottom making several ridges all around the pumpkin. I'm trying to come up with some way to use this recipe for christmas. Maybe just making snowballs rolled in powdered sugar. Any suggestions??

Great recipe! Our family doesn't have that much of a sweet tooth, so I halved the recipe. I only had to use a quarter of the bag of confectioners sugar. The recipe was a major hit for the whole family, and it made such a cute treat for my family for Halloween! Even with the recipe halved, I made 17 pumpkins that were about the size of a ping pong ball or slightly smaller.

They were very tasty sweet! But I found rolling them to be a bit hard. I froze mine then rolled them that seems to work better then anything I did.

These were a huge hit at the Halloween party I went to this evening. I made the very small bite size, and they went fast. At least one person told me I had ruined them for Reese's. For the stems, I made my own buttercream and used cocoa powder to make it chocolate, then added green food coloring to get that brownish-green color pumpkin stems tend to be. I couldn't find my toothpicks, so I ended up using the dull side of a butter knife to make the pumpkin ridges.

I was disappointed in this recipe. It is very hard to get the "pumpkins" to look orange after you add the peanut butter. I made 18 bite size pumpkins and didn't even use 3/4 of the mixture. It says it makes 15 pumpkins. They would have to be huge to make only 15. I have been making "Reeses Peanut Butter" balls for years and think the combination of sugar, peanut butter and powdered sugar would be better if you use 3 cups peanut butter, 1 and 1/2 boxes (16 oz.) powdered sugar and 2 sticks of melted butter or margarine. I like the suggestion of using mini chocolate chips for the stems.

Fun, easy, and tasty too! I took mine to work and placed on a round tray with witches hats - Witch Hats - on the perimeter and the pumpkins in the middle. It made a very cute display (wish I would have taken a picture). Be sure to make the pumpkin balls small as they are very rich.

This tastes just like a Reese's peanut butter cup without the chocolate of course! I added a chocolate chip for a stem then piped on a leaf with some leftover Betty Crocker frosting that I had in the fridge. I posted up a picture (hopefully it will be approved soon!) of what my pumpkins ended up looking like.

Very cute little treat that is very delicious! Just like the peanut butter balls I make at Christmas time, minus the chocolate. I made mine quite small and put them in mini muffin wrappers (Made about 55!). Used black licorice for the stems instead of frosting. They turned out great!

easy, easy, easy and oh so darn cute! I made fairly small pumpkins (posted a pic) as I figured they would be rich, which they were, so I was able to get over 30 pumpkins. My family and co workers were awfully glad.

I really liked this recipe because it's oh so easy but makes a great presentation. I think I would have preferred to make these into smaller pumpkins though since they are super sweet. I definitely agree with previous posters when they said this is very similar to the peanut butter in a Reese's cup. Enjoy!!!!

I made a batch into jackolanterns for Halloween this year. They were darling! I agree with everyone else that they taste like peanut butter fudge or the inside of a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup. I used half the bag of sugar and that amount suited our sweetness craving very nicely. :) I was in a hurry, so I didn't get to do a great job on the pumpkin lines/jackolantern faces, but they were really easy to "carve" and could have been done beautifully with just a little bit more care. Thank you!
