Ingredients
Directions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine your chosen confectionery base with a few drops of orange food coloring. Heat in short intervals, stirring frequently, until the mixture becomes smooth and fully liquid.
- Using a fork or skewer, submerge each marshmallow into the warm orange coating, ensuring it is completely enveloped.
- Transfer the coated treats to a sheet lined with parchment paper. Allow them to rest undisturbed until the outer layer hardens.
- Once firm, attach a small stem and a few green leaves to the top of each treat to finish the pumpkin appearance.
