Use these gumdrops as party favors by placing several in a small crate, papier-mache box, or basket lined with crimped shredded paper. Tuck in a plastic spider ring as the frightful finishing touch.


What You Need:
  • Orange slice-shaped jelly candies
  • Small green gumdrops

Instructions:

1. To make pumpkins, trim the edges of two orange jelly candies to create straight sides. Push the two sticky sides together, forming a pumpkin shape.

2. Cut a small piece from the bottom of a small green gumdrop. Press into the top of candy pumpkin.
