Test Kitchen Approved
These bite-sized pumpkin truffles look and taste like pumpkins, thanks to pumpkin butter and puree mixed into the white chocolate and graham cracker base.

Ingredients

  • 4 ounces white baking chocolate, broken into pieces
  • 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup canned pumpkin
  • 2 tablespoons pumpkin butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • 1-1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
  • SUGAR COATING AND GARNISH:
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
  • Miniature semisweet chocolate chips, for garnish

Directions

  1. Place white chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook at 50% power for 90 seconds; stir. Microwave at 30-second intervals until melted, stirring between intervals. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool.
  2. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and pumpkin puree until smooth. Stir in pumpkin butter, melted white chocolate and pumpkin pie spice. Add graham cracker crumbs; stir until well-combined and a thick dough forms. Cover and refrigerate until dough is firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.
  3. To make coating, in a small bowl, mix together sugar and pumpkin pie spice; set aside.
  4. Scoop chilled dough into tablespoonfuls; roll into balls. Roll in the sugar-spice mixture until evenly coated. Roll a toothpick or blunt edge of a knife gently into the sides to make the pumpkin's ridges. Top each with a mini chocolate chip to make the stem.
  5. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
