PUMPKIN MELLOWCREME RECIPES

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, combine cold water and unflavored gelatin. Let sit for one minute.
• Heat the gelatin mixture over medium heat, whisking until gelatin is dissolved.
• Stir in pumpkin, sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk until well combined and heated through, making sure all of the sugar is dissolved.
• Remove from the heat and add vodka and heavy whipping cream.
• Pour evenly into shot glasses or plastic cups. Allow the jello to cool, then move to the refrigerator. Allow 4-6 hours for the jello to set.  Garnish with whipped cream and optionally, Mellowcreme pumpkin candies.

Steps:

• Heat the vanilla candy melts in a medium glass bowl in the microwave for 1 minute at 50% power. Stir well, and continue heating in 30 second intervals until the wafers are fully melted and smooth/creamy. Make sure not to overheat the candy melts, or they will become hard and chalky.
• Place the silicone sphere mold on a flat serving tray or baking sheet, and spoon approximately 1 ½ tbsp of the melted candy wafers into the molds.
• Thoroughly coat the inside of the mold with the back of a spoon. Make sure to make the edges a little thicker, so that they don’t break when melding together. If the candy is pooled at the bottom, spread again to evenly coat all sides, or your sphere will be less circular, and more flat on the bottoms from the pooled candy.
• Place in the refrigerator for 3-5 minutes to set.
• Once hardened, remove from the refrigerator, and begin slowly pulling the mold away from the spheres on the sides first, and then lightly push from the bottom to remove them. Try to handle them as little as possible to avoid fingerprints, or melting. (To reduce fingerprint smudges, wear food safe gloves)
• Place a small plate in the microwave and heat for approximately 20-30 seconds.
• Place a sphere open side down onto the plate. Twist it a little to get the edges slightly melted, and then immediately flip back over and pour ? of one packet of the pumpkin spice hot cocoa mix into the sphere.
• Add 9-10 miniature marshmallows, and then place another sphere on the plate and twist, and once the edges are slightly melted, place it on top of the filled sphere.
• You can twist them slightly to help meld them together. If you have any cracks that didn’t seal, heat a spoon in hot water, dry thoroughly, and use it to smooth around the seam. Repeat this process to make 3 pumpkin spice bombs.
• Place the orange candy melts in the microwave, and repeat step 1 to fully melt.
• Open the sandwich bag, and drape it over your hand. Fill with the melted orange candy, and cut the tip of the bag with kitchen shears.
• Pipe the orange candy melts onto the pumpkin spice balls, and immediately add a Mellowcreme Pumpkin on top. Let set for 2-3 minutes.
• When you're ready to drink your hot cocoa bomb, heat 8oz of your desired milk in the microwave, or on the stovetop.
• Place your hot cocoa bomb in a mug, and slowly pour the milk over it.
• Stir lightly to open the bomb and see the pumpkin spice hot cocoa explode.
• Continue stirring until the candy melts and the cocoa mix have melted, and enjoy!
