Note:  I actually had the idea for these pumpkin toppers, had purchased Wilton’s Candy Melts in orange then searched the web for a mini-pumpkin template.  I found a template I could use at  Simply Creating Home (a terrific blog full of creative ideas for most aspects of home life).  I also found the EXACT toppers I was planning to make.  I guess creative bloggers think alike.

Recipe Notes

If decorating bags and tips are not available to use, Ziploc baggies can be used. Cut a tiny snip in one corner or a baggie then partially fill the baggie with melted chocolate. Squeeze out any excess air and close the bag. Push all melted chocolate to the cut corner and use as a decorating bag. It is still a good idea to watch the tutorials on the Wilton's site.
