No-Bake
Peanut Pumpkins
 
Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 cup of finely-chopped peanuts
  • 1 packet milk coffee biscuits
  • 1 teaspoon of grated orange rind
  • 2 tablespoons of orange juice
  • 2 cups of icing sugar
  • 4 oz (about 100gm) semi-sweet dark eating chocolate
  • 2 tablespoons of melted butter

Method:

  • Melt the chocolate in the top part of a double boiler over hot (not boiling!) water.
  • Remove the chocolate from the heat when melted and add the butter, peanut butter, icing sugar, orange rind and juice, and stir to blend the mixture evenly
  • Crush the biscuits finely with a rolling pin and add them to the mixture together with the peanuts, then mix well again
  • Form the mixture into 1 inch balls, flatten them slightly and mark them to represent pumpkins.
  • To finish these treats, roll them in orange-tinted granulated sugar and press a piece of citrus peel or green angelica into the top of each one for a pumpkin stem.

Tip: Store your peanut pumpkins in a covered box or tin. Don't refrigerate them or they'll become hard.
