1 cup cream cheese frosting
4 cups orange candy melts
Green fondant or green licorice for stems
½ cup melted dark chocolate (for decorating vines or faces)

Roll into 24 even-sized balls. Chill for 30 minutes.
Melt orange candy melts until smooth. Dip each ball using a fork or stick until fully coated.
Shape slightly into pumpkin form before the coating sets—use a toothpick to press gentle lines around the sides.

Use melted chocolate to pipe curly vines or cute Jack-O’-Lantern faces.
Let set on parchment until firm. Chill if needed.
