Crunchy Gourd Confections

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Enjoy the Spooky Holiday with These Peanut Butter Pretzel Pumpkins

— October 10, 2012 — Special
Experience crunchy, gooey, buttery goodness when you sink your teeth into these peanut butter pretzel pumpkins. These sweet and salty treats will really make a splash at your next fall or Halloween celebration.

First and foremost, you must mix peanut butter and regular baking butter until it is a smooth paste and then add pumpkin spice with a sprinkle of sugar. The paste gets rolled into little dough balls and sandwiched between two pretzels, then placed in the fridge to harden. Orange candy coating is then melted so that the salty sandwiches may be dipped and fully covered with the sweet liquid coating. Break off little pieces from other pretzels to make your stem and use chocolate chips to add the features onto your tasty jack o' lanterns.

These original peanut butter pretzel pumpkins put an end to your craving for sweet and salty mix-ups.
