Teal Pumpkin Bites Recipe by SunButter

On Halloween, teal pumpkins are placed outside of homes to alert trick-or-treaters that there are allergy-friendly candies or non-food items available. Because of this, teal pumpkins have become a symbol of acceptance and unity for kids with food allergies, which is why we love this tasty (and adorable!) Teal Pumpkin Bites recipe by SunButter:

INGREDIENTS:

• 3/4 cup butter, room temperature
• 1 cup SunButter Creamy 
• (use dairy free alternatives for dairy allergies)
  
• 4 cups powdered sugar
• blue food coloring, until desired teal color is reached
• 30 mini chocolate chips  (like Enjoy Life’s allergy friendly chocolate chips)
  

IMPORTANT:  Check to ensure all individual ingredients are produced in a peanut and tree nut free facility.

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cream butter and SunButter together until smooth.
2. Slowly add in powdered sugar 1/2 cup at a time. Mix after each addition until well combined and dough is no longer sticky.
3. Add food color, a few drops at a time until you reach desired color. Knead by hand until color is uniform. Cover dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
4. Using your hands, roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
5. Using a toothpick, gently press into the sides, adding 4 to 5 pumpkin-like vertical indentations per ball.
6. Gently place one mini chocolate chip into top of pumpkin, pointed side up.
7. Refrigerate for an additional 15 minutes, or until ready to serve.
8. Store leftovers in airtight container in refrigerator for up to two days, or freeze for up to one month.
