    INSTRUCTIONS

    1. To make the pumpkins: Dip inflated balloons into melted orange candy melts. Let cool. Repeat the process and refrigerate bowls until firm.

    2. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a fine tip with chocolate candy melts, and pipe a jack-o'-lantern face on the front of the candy bowl. Let cool and refrigerate if necessary.

    3. Once candy bowls are cooled, use a pin to pop the balloon and remove any remaining balloon scraps left inside the bowl.

    4. To make the skeletons: Dip inflated balloons into melted white candy melts. Let cool. Repeat the process and refrigerate bowls until firm.

    5. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a fine tip with chocolate candy melts, and pipe a skeleton face on the front of the candy bowl. Let cool and refrigerate if necessary.

    6. Once candy bowls are cooled, use a pin to pop the balloon and remove any remaining balloon scraps left inside the bowl.

    7. To make the vampires: Dip inflated balloons into melted chocolate candy melts. Let cool. Repeat the process and refrigerate bowls until firm.

    8. Fill a pastry bag fitted with a fine tip with white candy melts, and pipe a smile and vampire teeth onto the bowl. Use melted red candy melts and add a spooky drizzle of blood on the front of the candy bowl. Let cool and refrigerate if necessary.

    9. Once candy bowls are cooled, use a pin to pop the balloon and remove any remaining balloon scraps left inside the bowl. Use the red candy melts to add blood dripping from the top edge of the bowl.
