These Headless Horseman Graveyard Halloween Treats are a spooky twist on classic peanut butter balls. Chilled peanut butter balls are dipped in orange candy coating, decorated with jack-o'-lantern faces, and placed on chocolate cookie-topped pudding cups to resemble graves. The treat is perfect for Halloween parties and offers a fun, hands-on activity for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
Directions
- In a medium bowl, use your hands to mix together the peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and 2 cups of confectioner's sugar until you have a smooth, stiff dough.
- If the dough feels too soft, gradually add up to 1 additional cup of confectioner's sugar (3 cups total) to reach the right consistency.
- Scoop up about 2 teaspoons of dough for each ball and roll them into round shapes.
- Arrange the balls on a baking sheet that has been lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 to 45 minutes, until the balls are thoroughly chilled and firm.
- Melt orange candy melts according to package directions, then dip each frozen peanut butter ball into the melted coating until fully covered.
- After the coating has hardened, use an edible black marker to draw jack-o'-lantern faces onto each ball.
- Carefully peel back the lids on a few Snack Pack pudding cups.
- Crush chocolate cookies into fine crumbs and sprinkle them over the pudding to create a look resembling freshly dug dirt.
- Place your decorated peanut butter jack-o'-lanterns on top of each pudding cup.
