Peanut Butter Pumpkins

1. 1

   Melt butter in a large bowl and add a few drops of yellow and red food coloring, until mixture has a nice orange color.

2. 2

   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).

3. 3

   Shape dough into small balls shaped like pumpkins; make ridges on the pumpkins with a toothpick.

4. 4

   Add a small amount of green decorators icing to the top of each pumpkin for a stem.

5. 5

   Refrigerate, if desired, to allow pumpkins to firm.

6. 6

   Serve on a plate lined with toasted coconut and Halloween decorated cookies, if desired; these also look good on top of cupcakes.
