This is an easy and cute idea for parties or as a small gift or thank-you.
You will need:
Lollipop Sticks
Orange Candy Melts
Oreo Cookies
Black Candy Melts (Optional)
Green Fondant (Optional)
Pretzels (Optional)
1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Then open up the oreos and using a little of the melted orange attach the stick to the inside of the Oreo and close back up. I put these in the freezer to set for about 5 minutes - I found it was easiest to work in batches. While some were in the freezer I was adding sticks to others in preparation of sticking them in the freezer. If you want to have "stems" on your pumpkins you will need to break apart a few pretzels and have them ready to go in a bowl.
2. Melt the orange wafers in a small deep bowl or a cup. Take the set-up Oreo on a stick and dip it in the orange, all the way up to the stick, make sure to cover it all and then tap off any excess. Place the Oreo on the parchment paper cookie sheet - if you are adding stems do it now while the chocolate is still wet. Repeat. Set aside to firm up/dry - you can put in the freezer to speed up this process.
3. If adding leaves, roll out prepared green fondant and cut out a leaf shape/ tear drop shape and then squeeze it around the stem to attach.
4. Once set feel free to add scary faces, words or any other design you fancy with black melted wafers of black royal icing.
All wrapped up and ready to go.
Happy Halloween.
