These copycat Snickers Pumpkins are the perfect Halloween dessert! They’re made with only 6 ingredients and have no artificial ingredients or refined sugar.
Copycat Snickers Pumpkins Ingredients & Accessories
Peanut Butter: I use natural peanut butter where the only ingredient is organic peanuts. I recommend a natural peanut butter at room temperature so it’s nice and runny.
Maple Syrup: No refined sugars here! This recipe uses real maple syrup to sweeten the peanut butter.
Dark Chocolate: I make these pumpkins with dark chocolate because it has a lower sugar content, but feel free to use whatever chocolate you prefer!
Peanuts: Look for dry roasted with no salt or lightly salted.
Almond Flour: This grain-free flour is made from blanched almonds.
Coconut oil: Depending on the chocolate you use, you may want to thin it out. I typically use unrefined coconut oil, but if you really do not like coconut, refined coconut oil does not have a coconut flavor.
Pumpkin Silicone Mold: I use this mold that I purchased from Amazon.
Storage Tips
I recommend storing the snickers pumpkins in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Then I would let the dessert sit out for 10-15 minutes before serving.
FAQs
My pumpkin mold has a fun design; is there any way to get that design on my peanut butter cups?
Another way to make these pumpkins is to completely cover the pumpkins in the mold with chocolate, freeze for 2 minutes to set, add the nougat mixture, top with the caramel and peanuts, freeze for 2 minutes, and cover with more chocolate. This method is great for seeing the design, but sometimes the chocolate cracks if the mold is not completely covered with a thick layer of chocolate.
My pumpkins are losing their shape when I dip them in chocolate. What went wrong?
Make sure the snickers pumpkins are completely frozen before dipping them in chocolate. This will help them retain their shape when dipped in hot chocolate. Also, don’t leave the snickers in the chocolate for too long. Dip, flip, and remove.
