Today is the beginning of all things Halloween. And what better way to start it off then with lots and lots of ideas using a pumpkin shaped cookie cutter. This collection of creative pumpkins was put together by The Great Pumpkin herself- Callye!
AKA SweetSugarBelle. If for some odd reason you haven't visited her BLOG - your must. NOW. She is one of the sweetest, most talented people I know and I'm happy to call her my friend. Several ideas came to mind using the pumpkin cutter, but I decided to keep it simple and YUMMY. Did you notice YUMMY?
Cookie Cutter Pumpkin Fudge
What cute party favors they would make, nestled in a bed of paper shred and tied with sheer fabric ribbon!
And now more good news...they taste amazing!!
After finding the recipe I wanted to try, I decided to change it up a bit.
Like replacing the white chocolate to chocolate chocolate.
Totally worth it...TOTALLY!
Of course this is coming from someone who can't go a day without chocolate.
Sometimes not even an hour.
Before making the fudge, you'll need to get your cutters ready.
Okay, now they're ready.
How simple was that.
Wash and dry the cutters (Michaels) and lay flat on parchment paper.
If you want to use anything to sprinkle on the fudge, get that ready too.
I used orange, yellow and white non pareils.
And the packaging part~
Green paper shred, ribbon and bags (not shown).
And the yummy part...the recipe~
Don't forget to replace the white chocolate chips with chocolate chocolate chips!
This is what it looks like while cooking, which seemed like it took forever.
As soon as you mix in the chocolate, marshmallow cream and pecan pieces, fill the cookie cutters and pour any remaining fudge in parchment lined pan...to cut and serve...and taste! Or you can pour it into large tin pumpkin cutters.
Package it up pretty...
Ribbon, leaf cut from a vine and florist wire.
Wrap wire around wooden spoon handle.
Twist around top of package.
Add ribbon and leaf.
Tie in a pretty bow.
Use at your Thanksgiving Table!
Your guests WILL be very Thankful!
And now YOU will be very thankful for all of these amazing ideas using a pumpkin cutter...
