Plan for:

3 hours chill time

These Chocolate Pumpkin Truffles are like little bites of fall wrapped in rich, dark chocolate. Inside each truffle, you'll find a mix of smooth white chocolate chips, canned pumpkin puree, and cream cheese, giving the truffle a nice autumn vibe. Add in crushed graham crackers for a bit of a crunch and a homey feel, kind of like a pumpkin pie crust. All of this yumminess is then encased in a shell of dark chocolate, providing a beautiful contrast to the sweet and creamy center. When you bite into one of these truffles, you'll get a mouthful of rich, chocolatey, pumpkin goodness. It's basically like having a mini, bite-sized version of pumpkin pie but coated with luscious dark chocolate.

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, melt 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 at room temperature for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 15 minutes. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
