Use these gumdrops as party favors by placing several in a small crate, papier-mache box, or basket lined with crimped shredded paper. Tuck in a plastic spider ring as the frightful finishing touch.

What You Need:

Orange slice-shaped jelly candies
Small green gumdrops

Instructions:

1. To make pumpkins, trim the edges of two orange jelly candies to create straight sides. Push the two sticky sides together, forming a pumpkin shape.
