So, the intrigue is revealed! Cooking candy with pumpkin puree! Which, however, no one will notice under a layer of chocolate!
I advise you to take a pumpkin of a sweet variety. Cracker cookies - no additives and not too salty.
This amount of ingredients made 25 walnut-sized candies!
Yes, by the way, be patient, as you will only try them the next day.

Prepare pumpkin puree: cut the peeled pumpkin into small cubes, put in a saucepan, add 2 tbsp. l. water, cover with a lid and simmer over low heat until soft. It took me 15 minutes and in the middle of the quenching I added another 2 tbsp. l. water, because all liquid boiled away.

While the pumpkin is stewing, grind the cookies in a blender, or put them in a bag and roll them with a rolling pin.

Puree the stewed pumpkin with a blender, cool completely. Measure out 230 grams.

Grind cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla sugar into a smooth homogeneous mass.

Combine cookies, pumpkin puree, buttermilk, cinnamon and, if the cracker is not salty, then a pinch of salt. Knead the dough well with a spoon, it turns out thick, plastic. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Form the cooled mass into sweets, picking up a full teaspoon and rolling into a ball the size of a walnut. Put the blanks in the refrigerator for the night, without covering with anything, let them harden and wind a little!

Prepare a plate or board for future sweets by covering with foil, a plastic bag, or covering with a silicone mat. I took a cutting board and put a bag on it.
Break the chocolate into cubes, put in a bowl and melt in the microwave or in a water bath (so that the container with chocolate does not touch the boiling water).
Insert a toothpick into the candy, approximately to the middle. Dip candies one at a time into melted chocolate. It is more convenient and economical to coat the ball with chocolate with a culinary brush, removing excess chocolate.

Transfer the candy to a board or plate. Carefully remove the toothpick, pressing the candy with a fork. Put a drop of chocolate on a toothpick and cover the hole in the candy. While the chocolate is not frozen, sprinkle the candy with sprinkles (nuts, shavings).
And so are all the candies! We spread them at a distance from each other so that they do not stick together!
Carefully transfer the finished sweets to the refrigerator so that the chocolate freezes well. Then, put them in a container with a lid and put them in the freezer for 2-3 hours. Now the sweets are ready! By the way, we will store them in the freezer, so sweets are tastier !!!

Well, here's what you've been waiting for! Get a few sweets from the freezer, let them warm up for about five minutes. In the meantime, I advise you to brew a cup of tea, or make a coffee, or splash cognac ... And enjoy unusual, delicious sweets made by yourself!!!

Autumn is an incredibly beautiful time of the year, but often quite dreary. To please yourself with a delicious dessert, and at the same time not harm your figure, these pumpkin sweets are a real find.They include, perhaps, the brightest and most fragrant product of autumn - and it is covered with low-calorie and healthy dark chocolate. Despite the fact that the sweets are vegetable, no one will guess about it because of the delicate sweet taste.

Candy Ingredients:

400-500 gr. fresh peeled pumpkin;

1 tile of any, but better with a cocoa content of more than 70%;

3 tablespoons of sugar;

100 ml warm water.

How to make pumpkin candy?

Step 1. Cut the pumpkin into small slices and place on a baking sheet, oiled or covered with parchment paper for baking.

Step 2. Mix water with sugar and generously grease the pumpkin slices with the resulting syrup. The water should be warm enough for the sugar to dissolve and not precipitate.

Step 3. Place a baking sheet with slices in a preheated oven and leave for 15-20 minutes. Baking temperature: 180-200 degrees. Make sure that the syrup does not start to burn, otherwise add a little more water to the baking sheet.

Step 4. While the pumpkin is baking, melt the chocolate in a water bath. If it gets too thick or lumpy, add some water or milk. Be careful, the chocolate should remain viscous! You can vary the taste of dessert with different types of chocolate: milk, white or with nuts. But keep in mind that the calorie content of the dish will also change.

Step 5. Dip each slice in melted chocolate and prick on a skewer or toothpick. You can use a large apple as a holder. But you can just put the sweets on parchment paper.

Step 6. Put the resulting sweets in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens. Sweets are ready!

Step 7. If there was not enough chocolate for all the slices, you can season the remaining pumpkin with cinnamon or powdered sugar and eat it like that. Without chocolate, the dessert will be even more dietary, but still very tasty.

Like a pumpkin, you can bake apples, pears, carrots and sweet varieties.

In addition to the most wonderful orange vegetable, nuts, honey, cookies and oatmeal will be the key ingredients of great pumpkin candies. This is the perfect base to bring out the amazing delicate flavor of pumpkin.

Some elements of the recipe can be easily adjusted to your preferences. For example, for taste, instead of walnuts, use almonds or hazelnuts, and for sweetness, replace honey with chocolate. Well, with the flavoring of sweets, which gives orange peel, ginger, cinnamon or vanilla will do just fine.

Therefore, it is very easy to cook the most useful goodies on your own with your own hands, the main thing is to take into account the tastes and preferences of your relatives and friends. I'm sure they enjoy eating pumpkin candies instead of store-bought sweets that are full of chemical flavors and "E" additives.

Ingredients:

• Pumpkin - 200 grams
• Instant oatmeal - 150 grams
• Cookies (any) - 150 grams
• Butter - 50 grams
• Walnuts - 50 grams
• Orange - 1 piece
• Cognac - 30 ml (if children eat dessert, then exclude alcohol from the recipe)
• Coconut flakes - 50 grams
• - 3 tablespoons or to taste

The process of making delicious and healthy homemade pumpkin sweets:

1. We clean the pumpkin, wash it, cut it into pieces, fill them with water and boil until soft.
   
2. Drain all the water from the finished pumpkin, cool a little and crush with a crush until smooth.
   For this process, you can also use a blender or grind the pumpkin through a sieve.

   

3. Put the oatmeal in a grinder or coffee grinder.
   
4. Let's grind the flakes to the state of flour. Oatmeal can be replaced with oatmeal or oat bran.
   
5. Then put the cookies in the grinder.
   
6. Let's turn the cookies into small crumbs.
   Instead of cookies, gingerbread, waffles, biscuit or vanilla croutons are suitable.

   

7. In the cooled pumpkin puree, put the chopped oatmeal.
   
8. We mix the products well and leave them for 30 minutes so that the oatmeal swells a little and takes in the pumpkin juice.
   
9. After this time, add a crumb of cookies to the dough.
   
10. Mix all ingredients and add honey. If honey causes allergic reactions in you, then replace it with jam, wedge syrup or condensed milk.
    If you have linden honey, then feel free to use it in this recipe, as it is hypoallergenic.

    

11. Then add softened butter and pour cognac, which can be replaced with rum, gin or whiskey.
    For a children's table, exclude alcohol from the recipe.

    

12. Knead the dough until smooth and put small pieces of crushed walnuts. If desired, nuts can also be crushed into crumbs.
    However, it is tastier in desserts to feel them whole.

    

13. Knead the mass again and add the orange zest of one fruit, grated on a medium grater.
    
14. Again, knead the mixture well and send the dough to the freezer for 30 minutes, while stirring it every 10 minutes.
    This is necessary so that the dough hardens a little, and it is possible to form round sweets from it, since it initially turns out to be a little watery. However, if it seems to you that the dough is too tight, then dilute it a little with orange juice.

    When the dough hardens a little, make small balls out of it, which we roll in coconut flakes. We put them in paper candy molds or on a flat plate and send them to the refrigerator to harden for 1-1.5 hours.

• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar;
• 100 grams of chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts);

1. First you need to prepare pumpkin puree. To do this, take 400 grams of pumpkin, and cut into small pieces without removing the skin. Then we put our sticks on a baking sheet and put them in the oven to bake. Bake until the pumpkin is soft at a temperature of 200 degrees.
2. When the pumpkin is ready, cool it a little, remove the skin, and, as it should, beat in a blender until puree is formed. If there is no blender at hand, then you can thoroughly mash the pumpkin with a fork.
3. Put the resulting puree in a deep frying pan with a thick bottom, add milk, vanillin, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt and mix everything properly. Place the skillet over high heat and bring to a boil.
4. When the mass boils, we make the fire to a minimum and so cook for another 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Gradually, our workpiece will begin to boil and caramelize. At this stage, it is important to stir continuously so that the mass does not burn. The mixture is ready when it starts to resemble marmalade and starts to pull away from the pan easily.
6. We remove the pan from the stove, add butter, a third of chopped nuts, cinnamon, ginger to the mixture, and mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
7. We place the candy mass in a bowl, cool and put in the refrigerator for two hours.
8. The rest of the ground nuts are mixed with cocoa.
