Instructions
1
To a medium mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, and salt. Mix well until a thick dough forms. Take a heaping tablespoon of dough and roll into a ball. Use your hands to press flat, and push inwards from one edge towards the center to create an indented oval shape. Take about a half teaspoon of dough and shape it like a stem. Lightly press onto the pumpkin-shaped dough. Repeat with the remaining dough and place on a parchment paper lined tray. Place in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.

To a separate bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
3
Coat the pumpkins in the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Place back onto the parchment lined tray. Place in the freezer for 20 minutes or until chocolate has hardened. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Coconut Oil Temperature Control 🌡️Melt coconut oil over low heat to preserve its subtle flavor and prevent it from smoking, ensuring a smooth base for your peanut butter filling.
- Chill Between Layers ❄️Refrigerate the peanut butter mixture for at least 30 minutes before dipping in chocolate to create firm, perfectly shaped pumpkins that won't collapse.
- Maple Syrup Sweetness Balance 🍁Use pure maple syrup warmed slightly before mixing to ensure even distribution throughout the peanut butter filling and enhance the natural flavor complexity.
- Protein Powder Integration 💪Sift your vanilla protein powder before adding to eliminate lumps and ensure a creamy, smooth texture without grittiness in the final candy.
- Chocolate Tempering Technique 🍫Double-boil your dark chocolate chips (not direct heat) to achieve a glossy, snappy coating that sets properly and prevents the chocolate from becoming dull or grainy.
