Hey y’all! Are you ready for a cute and yummy fall treat?
These little guys are “Itty Bitty Punkin’ Treats!” They may be tiny but they are pure deliciousness!
Here is what you need:
1 box powdered sugar
1 small jar peanut butter
1/2 stick of butter
red & yellow food coloring
chocolate chips
Mix powdered sugar, peanut butter and softened butter in a bowl just until combined.
Mix red and yellow food coloring with 1/4 cup of water until you get the desired orange.
This was a good job for Little Man #2.
Add the food coloring, a little at a time, to the peanut butter mixture and mix well.
Roll the dough into small teaspoon size balls. Little Man #2 had fun helping me with this.
Use a toothpick to create criss-cross markings across the top of the balls.
Top each ball with a chocolate chip and you have your little punkins!
You can share or save them all for yourself! 
ENJOY!

I ♥ these, I really want to make them for a party this week, but some of my friends are allergic to peanuts. Is there some thing I can substitute?
Thanks so much!!
How much is a box of powdered sugar? We have bags here
Thinking Sunbutter would work in place of the peanut butter for allergies..
Do you use the whole box of powdered sugar?
I'm not sure of the exact amount in oz, but as far as I know, powdered sugar comes in a small box or a larger bag. This recipe requires one full box of powdered (confectioners) sugar. If you only have a bag, I would say it's about 2/3-3/4 of a bag. Just mix with other ingredients and add more if necessary. It should be a cookie dough like texture when it's rolled. Subs for PB I do not know. Maybe almond butter or another nut butter alternative.
These are amazing! The perfect fall dessert for little ones to help with! Pinned! Found you through Home Stories AZ. xoxo
Hello there!
Stopping by to thank you for linking up to the party and let you know that I am featuring you tomorrow.
Besos!
Those are way too cute! I was trying to figure out what they were made out of before I got to the ingredients, and never would of guessed! Love this recipe, those punkins are adorable. Pinning! I’m crossing my fingers you’ll share these at my Throwback Thursday party.
I hope to see you there and thank you so much for sharing! http://www.hubbymademe.com/throwback-thursday-no-12/
what do you pre-heat the oven to? and how long do they cook for??
These are very yummy…..when I made this recipe last year it called for 1 stick of butter, now I see the recipe calls for 1/2 stick butter??? Not sure which one is right?
Do you cook these> If so how long and at what temp?
