How to make the Pumpkins and Gourds:
Pumpkin and Gourd Ingredients and Tools:
● Tootsie Fruit Rolls
Green = stem
Orange = Pumpkin
Vanilla/White = White Pumpkin
Yellow = Gourd
● Cutting Board
● Sharp Knife
● Toothpick
Pumpkin and Gourd Instructions:
● Unwrap the ends of 2-3 tootsie rolls, but leave the wrapper on, and microwave for 5-10 seconds to soften. Once soft, unwrap completely.
● Cut an orange tootsie roll in half and shape into a round pumpkin. Insert a hole in the top with a toothpick and set aside.
● Cut a sliver off of a green tootsie roll and roll into a length like a snake. Trim and place in the orange pumpkin to create a stem; set aside.
● Repeat this process with the white pumpkin using the vanilla tootsie roll.
● To make a gourd, shape half of a yellow tootsie roll into a “comma” shape.
● Place finished pumpkins and gourds in prepared, completely cooled sugar cookie cups. Make certain the cookie cups are completely cooled before you add the tootsie roll pumpkin and gourds.
These are so easy to make because every pumpkin and gourd in nature is unique and different and in creating these, you have the same freedom!
