Equipment
8 Small balloons (5 inch size)
Ingredients
12ouncebag of orange candy melts
Food decorating pen(black)
Instructions
Pour a package of orange candy melts into a microwavable bowl.
Microwave the melts according to package directions and stir.
Blow up a balloon to be around 3 inches in diameter and tie a knot in the neck. Repeat with seven more balloons.
Once the melts have cooled for at least five minutes, dip the balloon into the coating and roll it around so the sides become covered as well. You want the bottom half of the balloon to be evenly covered.
Place the coated balloon onto a plastic plate or a baking tray lined with parchment paper.Repeat with the remaining 7 balloons, and cool them in the fridge for around 20 minutes, or until set.
Take the coated balloon out of the fridge and cut a tiny hole in the balloon close to the knot.
After slowly letting the air out of the balloon, carefully peel it away from the surface of the bowl.
Use a paring knife to gently cut around the top of the bowl to even it out.
Use an "edible marker" to draw a jack-o-lantern face on the side of the candy bowl.
Set the bowl aside and repeat with the remaining 7 bowls.
Fill the bowls with Halloween treats, and your candy melt pumpkin bowls are complete!

Notes
Take one bowl out of the fridge at a time and finish it completely before moving on to the next one to prevent them from melting as you handle them.Make sure your balloons are rounded on the bottom. If the balloon has a point, it won't stand upright on the plate.
