Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles

I love making truffles. Maybe it’s because I love EATING them so much. These are a little different than my “usual” creations as they are reserved for each fall. Give yourself about 20 minutes to make them and a full 3 hours to chill (for the best consistency). Then ALL bets are off…once you bite into the first one, I dare you not to have a second. Now that’s some #FallFun31 !

CHOCOLATE PUMPKIN TRUFFLES

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup canned pumpkin puree
  • 2/3 cup crushed graham crackers, plus extra for garnish
  • 1 ounce cream cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Dixie Crystals Confectioners Powdered Sugar
  • 5 ounces dark chocolate

DIRECTIONS

  1. Cover a large cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  2. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave white chocolate chips for 30 seconds and stir. If not completely melted, microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  3. Add melted white chocolate chips, pumpkin puree, crushed graham crackers, cream cheese and powdered sugar to food processor. Pulse until a dough forms. Chill dough for 3 hours, or until it is easy to roll into balls (dough will still be sticky).
  4. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place onto prepared cookie sheet. Chill balls in freezer for 15 minutes.
  5. In a microwave safe bowl, microwave dark chocolate for 1 minute and stir. If not completely melted, microwave in 15 second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
  6. Dip balls into melted dark chocolate using toothpicks or a fork. Return to cookie sheet and sprinkle tops with crushed graham crackers for garnish if desired.
  7. Let truffles harden on counter for 1 hour or in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

    Those sound so good. They’d look really cute as part of our Thanksgiving place settings too.
